In Peru’s capital Lima, public cleaners in Peru protested for labour rights.
Soon the police began to disperse the demonstrators with water cannons. The police also used force to take the detainees to patrol cars and then to the police station.
People took to the streets demanding financial assistance from the authorities during the pandemic. Hundreds of people were unemployed because of quarantine measures, many unable to feed themselves and their families. According to recent data, more than 260 000 cases of COVID-19 infection have been confirmed in Peru, and more than 8 000 people have died.
