Prison 'killing' Peru's re-jailed ex-leader Fujimori

By AFP 1 hour ago.
Peru's ex-president Alberto Fujimori returned to prison Wednesday after undergoing pancreas exams in hospital, condemning jail conditions he said are "slowly killing" him.
The 78-year-old former leader is serving a 25-year sentence for human rights abuses and corruption during his presidency (1990-2000).

Convicted of embezzlement and bribery, he was jailed in 2007.
He was convicted again in 2009 for his role in killings by a death squad targeting supposed guerrillas.

(This monster also had government people round up and sterilize large numbers of poor indigenous Peruvian women, without their knowing consent, in his attempt to reduce the number of poor indigenous people. It wasn't covered by the corporate "news" media here, although our government always supported Fujimori, death squads and all. He was, after all, pro-bidness.)
