Julio Reaño

Julio Reaño is a photographer for El Comercio who gained attention after being assaulted by police while covering protests against the government in Lima. During the protests on September 21, he was injured when a police officer struck him with a baton despite clearly identifying himself as a member of the press. Reaño's experience highlights the dangers journalists face while reporting on civil unrest, as he was not the only reporter to report aggression from law enforcement during the demonstrations.
