Hundreds of people in Peru's Puno region carry coffins of 17 civilians along with photos of faces of victims, flowers, and banners, blaming new Boluarte government for deaths
Mourners in southern Puno region carry coffins of 17 civilians killed in recent anti-government protests, vowing"the bloodshed will never be forgotten" in the Andean nation.
On Wednesday, hundreds of people in the city paid tribute to the dead by carrying coffins through the streets before their burial along with photos of the faces of the victims, flowers, Peruvian flags, and banners blaming the new government for the violence. The violence, a severe test for Peru's democracy, is the worst conflict since the late 1990s when the country was gripped by violence between the rebel group Shining Path and the state, which left 69,000 people dead or missing over two decades.
