  • 6 years ago
(CNN)Peruvians, angered at the pardoning of ailing former President Alberto Fujimori, took to the streets of the capital, Lima, for a second night to protest the decision to release him from prison. Chanting "traitor" and "the pardon has got to go," opponents of the ex-leader continued their protest night outside the clinic where the former leader is currently being treated. Until his release Sunday, Fujimori was serving a 25-year prison sentence for human rights abuses. The son of Japanese immigrants, he served as Peru's leader for a decade, from 1990 to 2000.
