00:00 In Peru, the demolition of a wall that divides the wealthy neighborhood of La Molina from
00:04 the poor district of Villa Maria del Triunfo moves forward after a ruling from the Constitutional
00:10 Court.
00:11 Workers tore down the one and a half meter high Pirca, or wall, in Lima after the Peruvian
00:17 court ruled that the structure was discriminatory.
00:20 The barrier was built in 1980 and has been extended at different times up to the present
00:25 day.
00:26 However, the Constitutional Court's ruling affirmed that the wall affects the right to
00:30 free transit and harms human dignity.
