Demonstrations in Peru left one person dead Sunday, while a Congressional debate on proceedings against former President Pedro Castillo was suspended.
Peru’s National Police said in a statement one person died during clashes with the officers at the city of Andahuaylas’ airport. Demonstrators occupied the airport on Sunday, preventing dozens of policemen and workers from leaving the control tower. A policeman was “seriously injured” during the incident, the PNP said.
Fires damaged the airport’s landing track and other installations, leading to its closure by the aviation authority, according to a statement from Corpac.
