Peru’s Castillo is transferred to a police facility


Lima (AFP) – Pedro Castillo is transferred from the Police Headquarters to a police facility in east Lima. Castillo was ousted by lawmakers and arrested after trying to dissolve the South American country’s Congress in a move widely condemned as an attempted coup. The dizzying series of events in a country long prone to political upheaval resulted in even more history, with Vice President Dina Boluarte later becoming Peru’s first woman president. IMAGES
