Fujimori 25-year sentence upheld by Peru Supreme Court

Peru's Supreme Court has upheld a 25-year jail sentence imposed on former President Alberto Fujimori.

The term was handed down last April for ordering the security forces to carry out killings and kidnappings.

Fujimori, who led Peru from 1990 to 2000, returned from exile in late 2007 to face his accusers.

It was the first time a democratically elected Latin American leader was found guilty of human rights abuses in his own country.

Fujimori had denied overseeing a death squad as part of a "dirty war" against suspected Maoist Shining Path guerrillas in the early 1990s.

But he was convicted of directing the killings of 25 people, following a 15-month trial.

Fujimori is serving three other concurrent prison sentences.

In September last year, he was found guilty of illegally tapping phones and bribing journalists, businessmen and opposition politicians.

Last July, he was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years for giving $15m (£9.3m) in state funds to his spy chief, Vladimiro Montesinos.

And in 2007, he was sentenced to a six-year term on separate charges of abuse of power.

After his government was brought down in 2000, Fujimori escaped to Japan, where his parents were born, and lived in exile for seven years.

Good to see some justice meted out to thugs and dictators and corrupt arsewipes of South America of which Alberto was all three. Instead of slithering out of what should come to them.

Concurrent prison sentences make him do one after the other leave him in a solitary for the rest of his life .

A-fucking-men absolute scumbag may he rot in prison.

According to the TV news here, his daughter is running for president in 2011 and has pledged to release him if elected!!!!! My wife and I both did a double-take when we heard that. I'm baffled by Latin American politics. Shades of Marcos in the Philippines [Imelda remained popular even after her husband had been kicked out].

Fair enough, but let's remember that the Maoist Shining Path guerrillas were murderous terrorist thugs, in many ways the lunatic fringe of the revolutionary left in South America, as well as being always prepared to hop into bed with drug barons if it helped the cause...

I don't doubt that however jimbo he went after everyone he didn't like and any opposition and used them as an excuse to do so. He unleashed a dirty war that if he was sincere in his efforts was wholly unnecessary and was in the end to cement his power and crush the opposition shining path was just a pretext to this.

According to the TV news here, his daughter is running for president in 2011 and has pledged to release him if elected!!!!! My wife and I both did a double-take when we heard that. I'm baffled by Latin American politics. Shades of Marcos in the Philippines [Imelda remained popular even after her husband had been kicked out].

It is his daughter.

lofuji's surprise was based on the distaste for corrupt nepotism that is one of those odd little features of western democracy, especially when under the eye of a free press...

Is his daughter hot? Only the experience of La Cicciolina in Italy might be informative here ...
