Yesterday in Peru, former President Alberto Fujimori was found guilty of mass murder and kidnapping and was sentenced to 25 years in prison, a rare instance of a former head of state being found guilty in his own country on human rights charges: Former Peru President Fujimori convicted of mass murder, kidnapping.
Fujimori was found guilty of ordering massacres in the Barrios Altos area of Lima in 1991 and at La Cantuta University in 1992 that left 25 dead. He was also convicted in the 1992 abductions of a journalist and businessman. I'm guessing right now he's really really regretting coming back to South America after fleeing to Japan in 2000.
