The Peruvian government has extended the state of emergency in Lima and Callao, regions grappling with rising crime rates. The extension allows for continued deployment of the National Police, supported by the Armed Forces, to maintain internal order in designated intervention zones. This measure aims to address increasing criminal activity and bolster public safety. Details regarding the specific zones of intervention have not been widely released. The initial state of emergency was implemented in response to a surge in criminal incidents, prompting the government to seek enhanced security measures. Civil liberties may be subject to restrictions under the state of emergency provisions, though the extent of these limitations remains unspecified. The extension’s duration has not been publicly announced.
