This week my story comes from Peru, where former president Alberto Fujimori is facing five corruption and two human rights abuse charges. Fujimori held his presidency in Peru for almost a decade and is alleged to have participated in many accounts of government corruption and ordered death-squad killings during that time. With notice of the charges, Fujimori fled to Japan where he holds dual citizen ship, but later returned to South America. He is now residing in Chile where he was placed on house arrest for six months. The house arrest was lifted as long as Fujimori agreed not to leave the country.
It was thought, upon Fujimori’s return to Chile, that he was attempting to try to have another run at office in Peru. But Peru’s congress had previously declared him morally unfit to govern. Fujimori has denied the allegations calling them “politically motivated,” but is not ruling out a possible political reappearance.
Based in this article alone, before having read any back story on the subject, I would not be a fan of Fujimori, let alone vote him back into a position of power or rule. The fact that he felt that he needed to flee from allegations that, according to him, are not true, makes me believe he’s just a tad bit guilty. I just hate that hearing stories about the infringement on human rights. Hopefully, guilty or not he’ll get what he deserves.
