Death toll climbs in Peru as fuel price hike stokes anger
TRT World says Peruvian authorities have said that a fifth person died in the ongoing anti-government protests sparked by rising fuel prices, a sign of how the global energy crunch linked to the assault on Ukraine is stoking unrest in countries around the world.
Peru’s Ministry of the Interior said on Wednesday a 25-year-old man had died and that it was investigating.
A union representing agricultural workers in the southern Peruvian city of Ica said the man had died in clashes with police.
A farm worker who took part in a road block protest died following clashes with police while several others were injured, a hospital said.
