The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has ordered Peru to “refrain” from releasing imprisoned former president Alberto Fujimori despite a ruling that he be freed.
The Associated Press
Special prosecutor Carlos Reaño told The Associated Press that officials would keep the 83-year-old Fujimori in detention at the regional court’s request. Fujimori is being held in an exclusive prison where he is the only prisoner. One of the massacres occurred in an area called Barrios Altos - where 15 neighbors were killed during a party, including a child - and the other in La Cantuta, a university that trains school teachers, in which nine students and a professor died.
The Constitutional Court’s mid-March decision restored the humanitarian pardon, but fearing he could be released the regional human rights court on March 30 requested that Peru not release Fujimori until it could examine the case. It heard from victims' families and representatives of the Peruvian state, before issuing Friday's resolution, which cannot be appealed.
