The Government of Chile has expressed its alarm this Friday over the human rights situation and institutional crisis in Peru, highlighting the death of at least 15 people since the beginning of the protests that are taking place throughout the Andean country, a situation for which it has requested an investigation.
Chilean Foreign Minister Antonia Urrejola stated in a communiqué that «any violation of human rights must be duly investigated».
«Chile deplores the death of at least fifteen people, according to figures from the Mission in Peru of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR),» states the letter released by the Chilean diplomacy.
Thus, the Latin American country has stated that it «follows with attention» the development of the events in the country, and has called for the cessation of violence and a «prompt solution to the crisis, in accordance with democratic channels and international obligations to safeguard human rights and fundamental freedoms».
However, the Chilean Executive has shown its willingness to work together with the rest of the international community, contributing to a process of «broad and inclusive dialogue of the different social and political actors in Peru», capable of generating the conditions for democratic governance based on the sovereign will of the Peruvian people.
