Peru has jailed its former President Alberto Fujimori, a once-upon-a-time hero, encouraged and rewarded by the US Administration for his stern suppressive measures against Peruvian Maoists.
At his 70, he faces the 25-year imprisonment after the country’s judiciary system found him guilty of serious crimes against humanity. Characterized by the Peruvians as a top-class villain with multiple crimes, Fujimori, however, denied his crime records. He continuously indirectly pleaded that he was innocent because he was only carrying out the duties assigned by his world masters.
Accused of massacres in the name of fighting the Shining Path, the Peruvian Maoist fighters, Fujimori, was unable to prove that the evidences presented against him during the trial period were false. Besides, he had already been jailed six years for his economic scandals.
Shining Path Chairman and Philosophy Professor Gonzalo, whom Fujimori, disappeared in 1992, is still not heard about. Fujimori, with the help of US Administration, had punished Gonzalo through a hooded military trial held at an island, where almost 40,000 journalists of the world had gathered for reporting the Kangaroo trial.
As Cesar San Martin, the chief judge of Peru says, "The charges have been proved beyond all reasonable doubt," Fujimori, if US Administration keeps silent, is more likely to die of age while in the jail.
