Peru: Pedro Castillo drops hunger strike at the request of his children

Former Peruvian President Pedro Castillo Terrones suspended temporarily his 'dry hunger strike' but insisted he would not be appearing at his trial for his failed coup d'état in 2022 because it was all a masquerade with his conviction already announced by a biased court. 'As a tactical decision, and at the request of my children, my parents, and our beloved Peruvian people, I have decided to temporarily suspend it,' he wrote on social media.
