00:00Peru's interim president José Heri has declared a 30-day state of emergency in metropolitan

00:05Lima and the port city of Callao, citing a rise in violence and extortion linked to

00:10organized crime.

00:11The measure, approved by the Council of Ministers, allows for military support in policing and

00:17may involve the suspension of certain civil liberties.

00:21While Heri framed the move as a necessary step to restore public order, critics argued

00:26it reflects a reactive and militarized approach that risks undermining democratic norms without

00:33addressing the root cause of insecurity.

00:35The announcement comes amid a broader unrest and political instability following Heri's

00:41recent rise to power.

00:43His administration has faced public backslash over his handling of protests which have already

00:50caused resulted in casualties and injuries.
