Pedro Castillo announced the dissolution of congress hours before he was due to face an impeachment vote
Peru’s president has reportedly been detained and accused of sedition after he announced the dissolution of congress and the installation of a “government of exception” to rule by decree – just hours before he was due to face an impeachment vote.
The country’s national police tweeted on Wednesday that “former president” Pedro Castillo had been detained, shortly after the country’s congress voted to remove him from office on Wednesday and replace him with the vice president.
