Peru’s government has imposed a nighttime curfew to help quell unrest in the southern region of Puno after violent protests escalated earlier this week leaving at least 17 dead. The curfew, announced on Tuesday by Prime Minister Alberto Otarola, will last three days and run from 8:00pm to 4:00am local time (01:00-09:00 GMT). It comes amid renewed protests in Puno against the government of President Dina Boluarte, who was appointed by Congress in early December following the removal and arrest of her predecessor Pedro Castillo. Castillo is serving 18 months of pre-trial detention on charges of rebellion, which he denies.
