Police presence in Perú in anticipation of national protests on Thursday

Peru is bracing for a major show of defiance from anti-government protesters. Truckloads of demonstrators are flocking to the capital, despite a state of emergency. The protesters are calling for President Dina Boluarte's resignation and new elections. A wave of deadly protests have rippled across the country since early December, after the former president was impeached, removed from office and detained.
