Peru's security forces committed alarming human rights violations during anti-government protests last December, a regional human rights body said on Wednesday, adding that the response to demonstrators could be classified as a massacre.
More than 60 people died in clashes with police and soldiers in protests that broke out following the ouster of then-President Pedro Castillo.
The government has denied it committed abuses during the protests and said it is collaborating with investigations. "We reject the supposed findings of extrajudicial killings and the 'massacre' description," she said at a press conference. Bolaurte played down the wording of the IACHR's report, saying it did not "confirm" the occurrence of human rights violations, but that they "could have happened."The commission visited Peru from Jan. 11-13, and met with relatives of victims, government officials and civil society representatives.
