Lima  - Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa on Wednesday joined celebrations of the historic ruling that ordered former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori to 25 years in jail for human rights abuses and crimes against humanity.

For the author of "Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter" and "Conversation in the Cathedral," among other works, the decision is a great precedent not just for Peru, but for all of Latin America and world humanity.

Lima  - Alberto Fujimori, the former president of Peru, was found guilty and sentenced to 25 years in jail on Tuesday for human rights abuses and crimes against humanity, including ordering the massacre of 25 people.

In a historic ruling, the Peruvian court convicted the former democratically-elected president, who fled his own country while still in office, for abuses committed during his presidency.

Washington/Lima  - The international rights organization Human Rights Watch called Tuesday's conviction of former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori on human rights abuses a "major advance for human rights accountability."

The court in the Peruvian capital of Lima found that prosecutors had proven their case that Fujimori had ordered the killings of 25 people in two massacres at La Cantuta and Barrios Altos and two kidnappings in 1991 and 1992.

Lima - Peru's onet

Lima - The court's decision on the human rights case against former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori for 25 killings and two kidnappings is set to be made public
Tuesday, court president Cesar San Martin said Friday.

Fujimori, 70, who ruled Peru from 1990-2000 before faxing in his resignation from Japan, has stressed that he is innocent and recounted the difficult context in which he
governed the South American country as he combatted an internal terrorist threat.

Lima  - Former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori's self- defence effort as he stands trial for 25 killings and two kidnappings generated widespread criticism Thursday in Peru, with claims he used the legal platform to deliver political discourse.
