Protests in Peru over the ousting of the former Peruvian president Pedro Castillo, kicked off again yesterday when protesters took to the streets and began blocking highways.
Last month, protests over the same issue killed at least 22 people.
Video circulating on social media shows the clashes that occurred last night between protesters and police in the Peruvian capital of Lima.
