[Peru] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On March 29, 2025, relatives of five minors gathered outside a police station in La Union, Piura province, Peru, demanding the release of the minors and withdrawal of theft accusations. The protest was classified as peaceful with low severity, stemming from an alleged incident where the minors were shot with rubber bullets by private landowners.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the localized nature and peaceful classification, immediate supply chain disruptions appear minimal.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of local tensions that could affect broader regional stability in Piura province
• Watch for potential spread of similar land-related disputes in rural Peru that could disrupt agricultural or mining operations
