Peru public transport strike: Walkout over safety cripples life in Lima

A three-day strike by public transport workers has brought Peru’s capital to a standstill.

Unions are demanding the government take action against organised crime after three drivers were killed in September.

The government has already declared a state of emergency in parts of the capital and says it’s creating a special squad to combat extortion.

Al Jazeera’s Felix Nyawara reports.
