1 dead as police, protesters clash in Peru

Lima [Peru], October 17: Clashes between anti-government protesters and riot police in the Peruvian capital, Lima, have left a 32-year-old man dead and more than 100 people injured, including many police officers.
The protests come less than a week after Jose Jerí was sworn in as the interim president following the impeachment of his predecessor in office, Dina Boluarte. Wednesday's demonstrations were organised by mainly young Peruvians who demand that the country's political class do more to combat high levels of crime and corruption.
President Jerí said the protest had been infiltrated by criminals set on causing chaos and launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the protester's death.
