#Peru extends state of emergency in south over protests

On June 4, authorities extended the state of emergency in Puno Department through at least Aug. 4. The extension comes amid an increase in protest activity in Puno, with anti-government protesters holding a strike and blocking highways in late May. Authorities have since dismantled roadblocks.

Activist groups plan to renew demonstrations June 14: protests will likely concentrate in the southern departments of Apurimac, Ayacucho, Arequipa, Cusco, and Puno.

Activists also plan to stage a new round of demonstrations in Lima, the capital, beginning July 19.
