He added that “The Peruvian political crisis is being channeled peacefully within the constitutional framework.”
“We urge political actors and institutions in Peru to act in accordance with the law,” concluded.
Castillo was arrested after being dismissed after trying to dissolve the Legislative and call a constituent process to avoid a political trial against him.
Castillo’s gesture was described as a coup by members of his own government and was rejected by the Armed Forces and the Police.
