Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori Ordered Released by Constitutional Court

Broke On: Tuesday, 05 December 2023 Peru's Constitutional Court has ordered the release of former president Alberto Fujimori, who has been serving a 25-year prison sentence for crimes against humanity and corruption. The court's resolution stated that Fujimori, now 85 years old and in poor health, has already served two-thirds of his sentence. The ruling reinstates a pardon granted to Fujimori in 2017 for humanitarian reasons, which was revoked by the Supreme Court in 2019.

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights expressed concern about the release, citing previous human rights violations committed by state security forces under Fujimori's presidency.
