7 Apr 2009Breaking news: justice has once again caught up with ex-president of Perú Alberto Fujimori. And this time he’s paying the price for his infamous human rights violations. The video above is of the judge declaring Fujimori “guilty beyond a reasonable doubt” of charges related to the deaths of 25 people during his administration.
According to the prosecutor, Fujimori backed the massacre of nine students and a professor from the state university La Cantuta in 1992 and the death of 15 people, among them a child, during a party in the Barrios Altos area in 1991.
In addition he is accused of the kidnapping of a businessman and an opposition journalist, the latter one day after Fujimori closed the Congress and the judicial branch after a self-coup with the help of the army in 1992.
