Peruvians Continue Calls for Fujimori Extradition

HeadlineJul 18, 2007

In Peru, protests continue against a Chilean supreme court’s rejection of an extradition request for former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori. Fujimori faces several corruption and human rights charges, including the killing of political opponents, illegal phone tapping and bribery. On Tuesday, close to a thousand people gathered outside the Chilean Embassy in Lima.

Protest leader Mario Huaman: “(This march) is to repudiate the ruling of Judge Alvarez and ask the Supreme Court to extradite Fujimori.”
