Peruvian President Alan Garcia, who last year ordered the brutal massacre of protesting Amazonian tribespeople, has once again resorted to violence 鈥 this time in person. Visiting Edgardo Rebagliati Hospital in Lima, on October 9, Garcia encountered 27-year-old Ricardo Galvez, who shouted 鈥渃orrupt鈥 at the president.

Members of Garcia鈥檚 entourage landed follow up blows, knocking a defenceless Galvez to the floor where he was subjected to further mistreatment.
