Overview
- Peru’s immigration authority said late Saturday that Karla Tatiana Ornelas Loera completed exit controls and left the country.
- The departure followed President José Jerí’s November 3 decision to sever diplomatic ties, delivered with a peremptory deadline by Foreign Minister Hugo de Zela.
- Mexico granted Betssy Chávez diplomatic asylum in late October, and she has remained inside the Mexican diplomatic mission in Lima since then.
- Peru says it will not issue a safe-conduct because Chávez faces proceedings for rebellion and conspiracy linked to the 2022 attempt to dissolve Congress.
- Mexican diplomatic sources voiced regret over Peru’s move while affirming asylum as a humanitarian tradition, and Peru is preparing a proposal to revise the 1954 Caracas Convention at the OAS.
