..."I call for peace," Lasso said in a televised address on Monday, repeating earlier proposals for talks and accepting initiatives from civil society groups to mediate with protesters.

"They are looking for chaos; they want to throw out the president. I'm here - I'm not going to run away," he said in an earlier video published on Twitter.

Advocacy groups reported one demonstrator died during the protests. Police said the death occurred when a person fell into a ravine by accident.

At least 55 protesters have been injured and 79 have been arrested since protests began, according to the Alliance of Human Rights Organizations. At least 61 officers have been attacked in the protests, according to the government.

And this is why you don't allow "advocacy groups" into the country and you kick them out as soon as you find out they are there.
