Lima, December 17 (RHC)-- Demonstrations continue throughout Peru, demanding that the Congress be closed and Pedro Castillo restored to power as president.  The latest report from the Peruvian Ministry of Health stated that 63 were wounded in clashes with police and at least 20 people have been killed.
