This represents the first major action by the interim president since he assumed office nearly two weeks ago to address the country’s spiralling crime crisis.

Lima had previously been partially placed under a state of emergency between March and July following the murder of a famous musician attributed to organised crime.
Over the past month, more than 200 people have been injured in the protests including police officers, protesters, and journalists while one man was shot dead by police.
