Published 19 May 2021
Ex-President Alberto Fujimori is being prosecuted for the forced sterilization of 350,000 women and 25,000 men.
Peruvian Public Prosecutor's Office on Wednesday demanded justice for the over 1,300 victims of the forced sterilizations performed during President Alberto Fujimori's administration (1990-2000).
"The victims must be heard. Peruvian justice must open an investigation and punish the perpetrators," said Pablo Espinosa, the prosecutor in charge of this case.
"The defense lawyers insist that the case is time-barred. This argument is inadmissible. Forced sterilizations are a human rights violation and such a crime cannot go unpunished," he explained.

That's right, Fujimori is the P.O.S. who's the father of the P.O.S. conservative running for the Presidency.
