AFPPIX: Peru's Supreme Court on Thursday ordered ousted president Pedro Castillo to remain in detention for another 18 months after his arrest last week, which has sparked deadly unrest in the South American nation.
His removal from office has sparked protests across the country, with the death toll now at 10, according to the health ministry. Thousands rally daily nationwide despite a state of emergency, including in the capital Lima on Thursday. On Thursday, a total of 300 people marched near the prison shouting “Freedom for Castillo” under the watchful eye of police.
Hundreds of tourists have been left stranded at Peru's most popular attraction, the 15th-century Inca citadel Machu Picchu, after train service to the site was suspended.
