Earlier, the Peruvian Congress voted to remove President Castillo from office, hours after he announced the dissolution of the body and the appointment of an "emergency government", plunging the Andean country into a maelstrom of constitutional crisis.
Defying Castillo's attempt to dissolve Congress, deputies proceeded to a summary vote and 101 voted in favour of removing the president. Only six deputies voted against and 10 abstentions were recorded.
