Perú: I'm seeing thread after thread of terrible images of police attacking demonstrators in the past couple of days.

I'm trying to understand the context. All I really know is:

1. The Congress removed president Martín Vizcarra and installed a new one called Manuel Merino;

2. Mass protests have broken out over this;
3. Police are being remarkably brutal, at least two dead so far;
4. Demonstrators are calling Merino a dictator and murderer over the response to the protests, and generally labeling the congress's move a coup.

Key hashtags I'm seeing are: #PeruLivesMatter #MerinoDictador

TV Perú, a public TV channel, charged on air that the government is trying to censor their coverage of the demonstrations:

Basically what I'm trying to identify at this point is what is the Peruvian equivalent of Chilean demonstrator media accounts like Piensa Prensa. No dice so far.

Here's a tweet with a poster

EsSalud, which if I understand correctly is a public option government health insurer, is tweeting out lists of wounded who have been admitted at its hospitals:

Mexican TV network Televisa is denying a rumor that one of its journalists in Perú, Jefferson Fox Gómez, was killed. He was injured in the back with a rubber bullet or similar anti-demonstrator munition and is in the hospital.
