The streets of Peru look like a battlefield as the country experiences the most violent protests in over 20 years.

The protests spread across the country after President Pedro Castillo was jailed on 7th December.

Castillo was arrested after he attempted to remove congress and make himself the country's only leader.

Castillo wasn't born into wealth as his family were farmers.

As a result, he attracted many voters from indigenous and rural communities.

It's these supporters who are now protesting against the government.

The indigenous community, which lives on Taquile island, has also joined the protests.

Castillo's vice president, Dina Boluarte, is now in power.

Although she's attempted to call general elections early, people are demanding that she resigns immediately.

They blame her for the deaths of over 50 people in the protests.
