LIMA, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Peru's government approved an overnight curfew in the restive southern region of Puno, the country's prime minister announced on Tuesday, after violent protests escalated earlier this week leaving at least 17 dead.

The curfew, which will run from 8:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. local time in the region, will be in place for three days, according to Prime Minster Alberto Otarola.

(This story has been corrected to fix the length of the curfew.)
