Supporters and opponents of former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori clashed following the news of his death on Wednesday, September 11.

Fujimori died at the age of 86 “after a long battle with cancer” his daughter, politician Keiko Fujimori, announced.

The government declared three days of mourning for the former leader, with flags to be flown at half-mast ahead of his burial at the Museum of the Nation, located in the Ministry of Culture’s building, on Saturday, according to a spokesperson for the Presidency of Peru.

Footage filmed by Sebastian Ramirez shows Fujimori’s supporters and opponents clashing outside the Ministry of Culture.

Fujimori governed the country between 1990 and 2000, and was sentenced to 25 years in prison for his involvement in deadly events in 1991 and 1992, according to local media outlet Andina. Credit: Sebastian Ramirez via Storyful

Spooky footage captures ghostly goings on at UK's 'most haunted' museum
Chilling CCTV captures ghostly goings on at the UK's 'most haunted' museum - including the moment a 16th century skeleton smashed in an empty room in the middle of the night. The Museum of Curiosities lays claim to being one of the most haunted places in the country with thousands of cursed artefacts and spooky oddities. Staff at the Nottingham attraction now refuse to work night shifts there due to the amount of paranormal activity going on- with some of it being captured on camera. Hair-raising footage shows a 400-year-old human skeleton worth £12,000 falling to the ground and shattering despite nobody being inside the building at the time. In another creepy clip the same room can be seen filling with a mysterious mist which triggers the security alarm but then suddenly disappears.
