Casualties and losses

On 20 September 2025, protests began in Peru against the administration of Dina Boluarte and the subsequent administration of José Jerí, following the impeachment of Dina Boluarte and the Congress of Peru. Protests against President Jerí grew following allegations of sexual assault against him. This series of demonstrations followed the previous protests that occurred in 2022 and 2023 against the removal of her predecessor, Pedro Castillo.

At least 19 protestors were injured in marches held in Lima on 27 and 28 September according to the National Human Rights Coordinator (CNDDHH).
