The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has upheld Peru’s jailing of Lori Berenson. The New Yorker has been held in Peru since 1995 when she was convicted by hooded military judges of collaborating with the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement. She was originally sentenced to life in jail. Later her sentence was reduced to 20 years. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights was seen as Berenson’s last avenue of appeal.
