Two killed in Peru as protests spread against new president

Protests against Peru's new government turned deadly on Sunday, with two people killed as police clashed with angry demonstrators calling for a national strike, fresh elections and the release of detained former president Pedro Castillo. The protests have swelled, notably in the northern and Andean towns, since the South American country's legislature on Wednesday threw out the leftist Castillo after he tried to dissolve Congress and rule by decree.
