Yunni Milan Anahui and his mother were going to the market in the commercial center of Juliaca, in the south of Peru, on Friday, January 6. On the way, a bullet perforated his intestine. The 29-year-old man is in intensive care waiting for surgery. Mr. Anahui is one of the latest victims of the police violence that has accompanied the anti-government protests in Peru, which began in the wake of the fall of President Pedro Castillo on December 7, 2022, and his replacement by Vice President Dina Boluarte.
