In January of this year, Peruvian President Pedro Castillo was illegally removed from office by Peru's Congress and put in prison. This situation generated several mobilizations to demand the resignation of Mrs. Dina Boluarte, proclaimed by the Congress as president, and the restitution of democracy in the country. The serious human rights situation and the recent entry of U.S. military troops will be topics that our panelists will be discussing during this webinar on Saturday, August 5 at 11:00am Eastern Time. In this event we will have activists and defenders of Peace and Democracy in Peru, to describe the current context in the country, including: Héctor Béjar: Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Peru, Peruvian writer, sociologist and lawyer. Professor at Pontifical Catholic University of Peru and the National Major University of San Marcos. Ricardo Soberón: Center for Research on Drugs and Human Rights, Peruvian lawyer, university professor, writer and consultant specializing in drug policy. Ruben Dario Apaza: APU MALLKU from Native Authorities Council Puno Region Aida García Naranjo: Former Minister of Women, former ambassador to Uruguay, politician, educator, feminist. David Swanson: Executive Director of World BEYOND War. We look forward to seeing you then! https://actionnetwork.org/events/webinar-peru-facing-the-failure-of-democracy
