Thousands of protesters in Athens returned to the streets for a second consecutive day in solidarity with the Koufontinas hunger strike. Demonstrators first routed police out of Syntagma Square, then gathering in front of Parliament and marching down to Omonia Square before dispersing for the night.
Activists gathered at the site of the death of activist Oscar Pérez in Santiago, where on the 21st of December 2019 he was run over by 2 Carabinero cars, leading many to think that his murder was part of an active campaign of state terror against protesters during the October Uprising.
Thousands of farmers continued to gather at Ica, burning barricades in the Panamerican highway and effectively shutting down most travel in Peru. The cities of Parcona, San José de Los Molinos District, Santiago, Tate, and Pachacútec all had their access roads blocked, and Lima remained shut off from the rest of the country. Workers from the province of Pisco also went on strike, joining the Panamerican blockade in Ica.
Clashes continued to occur between the Onkwehonwe tribe and the OPP at 1492 Land Back Lane, with indigenous people hitting police cars and getting shot with rubber bullets and tasers after.
