Peru's Prime Minister Jorge Del Castillo met with political leaders from two of the country's southern regions on Tuesday, in an attempt to clear thousands of protesters from the Pan-American Highway and free around 60-police officers held hostage.
Protesters blocked the highway a week ago to demand a bigger share of regional mining royalties. A provincial mayor has expressed hope an agreement will be made.
