Here is a brief timeline of the political crisis that resulted in the ouster of a president and the imposition of a police state in Peru:
Wed., Dec. 14, 2022: Peru’s defense minister announces a 30-day national emergency imposing a police state amid violent protests against the ouster of President Pedro Castillo.
