Peru's president Pedro Castillo was ousted by congress after he announced the immediate dissolution of the governing body.
Castillo was criticised  for saying he would install a 'government of exception' to rule by decree hours before he was due to face an impeachment vote. He was accused of trying to seize power in a self-coup. 
MPs moved ahead with the trial, with 101 votes in favour of removing him, six against and 10 abstentions.
Protestors in Lima congregated to protest against and for Castillo.
