Protesters from all over Peru continue 'capture of Lima' march towards capital of the Andean country, where a counterprotest is feared to ignite chaos
People take part in demonstration before heading to Lima to gather with protesters from around the country for 'capture of Lima' march.
Thousands of protesters from rural areas are descending on Lima this week to keep up the pressure against the government, often defying a state of emergency declared to try to maintain order. "We have come in an organised way to take over Lima, to paralyse Lima, to be heard," added Gomez, an agricultural engineer from Chumbivilcas in the Cusco region.
At least 42 people have died in clashes between protesters and security forces, largely in the country's south and east, according to Peru's human rights ombudsman.A woman holds a sign that reads in Spanish"Urgent.

"Dina, please, resign so that this town calms down because the town is not going to give up," Antonia Riveros, a 55-year-old native of Huancavelica, said.
