秘魯前總統(tǒng)藤森獲準保外就醫(yī)
Peru's president has granted a medical pardon to jailed former authoritarian leader Alberto Fujimori, who was serving a 25-year sentence for human rights abuses and corruption.
A statement from President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski's office Sunday evening said the pardon was for "humanitarian reasons." AP reports Fujimori has been seeking a pardon for more than a year due to illness.
Fujimori served as president of Peru from 1990 to 2000. He remains a divisive figure in Peru.
He is admired by some Peruvians for combating Maoist rebels, whereas his critics consider him a corrupt dictator.
In 2007, Fujimori was sentenced to six years in jail for bribery and abuse of power.
In 2009, he was sentenced to another 25 years in prison for human rights abuses committed during his time in office, including authorizing killings carried out by death squads.
His daughter Keiko Fujimori is a prominent politician who ran a credible but unsuccessful race for president. On Twitter she called this "A great day for my family. Finally my father is free. This will be a Christmas of hope and joy."
秘魯總統(tǒng)庫琴斯基批準秘魯前威權(quán)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人藤森保外就醫(yī)。藤森因踐踏人權(quán)和腐敗被判刑25年。
庫琴斯基的辦公室星期天晚間在一份聲明中說，赦免藤森是出于人道主義原因。美聯(lián)社報道說，藤森尋求保外就醫(yī)已有一年多的時間。
藤森1990年至2000年擔(dān)任秘魯總統(tǒng)。他在秘魯仍然是一位有爭議的人物。
一些秘魯人因為他打擊毛主義反政府武裝而尊敬他，而他的批評者則認為他是一個腐敗的獨裁者。
2007年，藤森因受賄和濫用職權(quán)被判處六年徒刑。
2008年，他因在任期間踐踏人權(quán)，包括批準行刑隊執(zhí)行謀殺，而被判刑25年。
藤森的女兒藤森惠子是一位知名的政治人物。她曾競選總統(tǒng)但未獲成功。她在推特上說，“這對我的家庭來說是偉大的一天。我的父親終于自由了。這將是一個有希望和喜悅的圣誕節(jié)。”
