| 2009-04-08 |
| CARACAS, Venezuela — A three-judge panel of Peru’s Supreme Court on Tuesday convicted former President Alberto K. Fujimori of human rights abuses and sentenced him to 25 years in prison. The abuses included the killing of 25 people by a military death squad created by Mr. Fujimori in the early 1990s as the country was locked in a bloody conflict with Maoist rebels. |
