DON’T SCROLL, ITS TAKES LESS THAN 30 SECOND TO SPREAD AND LESS THAN 10 MINUTES TO READ

I made a doc, explaining and trying to summarize it. I also attached some of the many evidences of police brutality in the protests of the last days. I am missing things, but I hope this can help.

This is probably badly written but i don't care

Hi guys

My name is Lucia and i'm 18 years old. As am writing this, i am sitting in My bed crying. I live in Perú, I am peruvian, and I don't know if any of You have heard anything but we are in a political crisis since monday. Our (now ex) president, Martin Vizcarra, was impeached by the congress, acussed of moral incapacity, for some investigations for his actions when he was a Governor. The process was NOT respected.

By law, The next in line (because of a series of events that happened in 2018) was The president of The congress. That man, Merino de Lama, with The rest of The congress is under investigation for corruption.

People have been using their RIGHT to protest since monday, but they met with police brutality in a way we have never seen before. People were protesting peacefully, dancing and singing our national anthem; and the same police we aplaudd every night starting quarantine months ago, turned against us and started throwing tear gas bombs and shooting pellet bullets. Merino has denied The use of both of them. They also have shot health volunteers that were trying to help The injured.

The protest is not "Pro - Vizcarra" this is because every person in congress has their own agenda and their selfish reasons to climb into power. Specially, Merino and The premier Antero Flores Araoz, a racist, misogynist and homophobic piece of shit.

They were Even fining ambulances near The protest that were trying to help The wounded.

The media has done NOTHING and are trying to set up protesters as The ones making disturbes. Some journalist have resigned their jobs, saying that they are trying to censor them. While peruvians were fighting for their country, a lot of channels were broadcasting movies and comedy sketches.

According to The press, there are 3 deaths until now. Look for pictures and videos of The protest and decide for yourselves if You believe that is The accurate number. Tonight, they are rumors of that say The police is kidnapping people and getting them into black vans into an unknown direction.

I know that Tumblr is not that popular in Latin America. I know that there are Even less peruvians in this app. But i know that there are latinx people all over The world. I'm asking for all of You, latinx, white, black, Brown, etc if You come across this, PLEASE SHARE this post. Right now, The only way we have to make this injustice known is social media. And for that to happen we need The help of people all over The world.

To My fellow peruvians, feel free to add more information.

We are not alone. And we are stronger together
