Peruvian police officer burnt alive in a car.

Peru is in mourning after the death of a policeman who was burnt in his car during the violent post-election unrest in the country. The tragic incident, which brought the death toll to 47, triggered a strong reaction from the community and authorities.

José Luis Soncco Quispe, 29, was on patrol with a fellow officer in the San Juan de Lurigancho district of Lima when he was attacked by a group of protesters. His patrol car was set on fire, causing severe burns to the man, who died shortly after in hospital.

The death of the policeman was condemned on all sides and the authorities promised to do everything possible to find and punish those responsible for the attack. President Martín Vizcarra expressed his condolences to the policeman’s family and stated that violence is not acceptable in any form.

The post-election unrest in Peru began after Congress canceled the candidacy of popular presidential candidate Pedro Castillo, who was accused of receiving support from extremist groups. The decision sparked protests across the country, with demonstrators calling for Castillo’s re-election and an end to corruption in Peruvian politics.

The authorities declared a state of emergency and imposed curfews in many cities across the country to try to contain the unrest. However, the situation remains tense and there are fears that the violence could continue.

The death of the policeman who was burnt in his car is a tragic symbol of the violence and intolerance that is currently rocking Peru. It is important that the authorities and society come together to find a peaceful solution to this crisis and to ensure that similar incidents do not happen again.
