At least 17 people were killed in clashes with police in southern Peru, the country's human rights office said on Monday, the deadliest day so far of protests demanding early elections and the release of jailed former president Pedro Castillo.

Some of the bodies had bullet wounds, Puno's regional health director, Ismael Cornejo, told local radio station RPP. An unidentified woman told Reuters their relative had been hit with a bullet while taking a walk with a friend who lived nearby. Earlier on Monday, the Ombudsman said a newborn had died while being transferred from the town of Yunguyo, southeast of Juliaca, to a local hospital in an ambulance that had been delayed by a road blockade.
