4 Countries Call For Castillo's Reinstatement Amid Unrest

The governments of Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia and Mexico have called on Peru to reinstate Pedro Castillo, who was removed from power after attempting a coup, reports MercoPress (Uruguay).

The presidents of the four countries reversed course, signing a document urging Peru to honor the results of its election and reinstate the deposed Castillo. They also alleged that Peruvian president had been the "victim of undemocratic harassment."

The Argentinean Foreign Ministry previously criticized Castillo for altering the “constitutional order” following his attempt to dissolve the Peruvian Parliament.

Castillo remains in police detention while protests continue around the country, reported CNN.
