Peru's president has declared a 30-day state of emergency in the capital Lima, aimed at curbing rising crime.
Jose Jeri made the announcement in a televised address.
It follows protests last week that left one person dead and more than 100 injured.
A wave of demonstrations against corruption and crime, led to the ousting of Jeri's predecessor Dina Boluarte, earlier this month.
