On 9 January 2023, Peruvian National Police shot at protesters in Juliaca during the 2022–2023 Peruvian political protests against President Dina Boluarte, resulting in a massacre.[1] At least 18 people, including a medic responding to the scene, were killed and over 100 others were injured by police responding to protests in the city,[2][3][4][5][6] with all of the deaths being attributed to gunshot wounds.[7] The massacre was the deadliest day during the series of protests in Peru.[4] Local media criticized the response of national media, saying that events in Juliaca were overlooked.[8] The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights would describe the event, along with the similar killings in Ayacucho, as a massacre.[citation needed]
