Familiares de víctimas protestan por anulación de indulto a Fujimori

Agrupaciones políticas y de víctimas durante el gobierno del expresidente peruano convocaron a una marcha este jueves en Lima

Gisella Ortiz (R), relative of one of the victims of the "La Cantuta" massacre -where nine university students and one professor were killed by the "Colima" death squad during the government of Fujimori- holds a meeting at her home with other relatives of victims of Fujimori's brutal rule, in Los Olivos district, Lima, on December 26, 2017.  

Peru's ailing former leader Alberto Fujimori on Tuesday asked the public for forgiveness, two days after receiving a presidential pardon that sparked street protests. President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski ordered the pardon of Fujimori and seven other prisoners on humanitarian grounds, placing himself in the middle of a political crisis just days after he avoided impeachment. "We are here as relatives to reject this illegal pardon, because it does not correspond to the gravity of the crimes," Gisella Ortiz, from a group of victims' families, told reporters.

Lima. Familiares de las víctimas de la represión bajo el régimen de Alberto Fujimori, organizaciones políticas y de derechos humanos se movilizaban este miércoles por la anulación del indulto al expresidente peruano, concedido por el mandatario Pedro Pablo Kuczynski en la víspera de Navidad.

“Es la segunda vez que confié en un presidente y que me ha fallado”, dijo con pesar a la AFP Rosa Rojas, quien perdió a su marido y a su hijo de 8 años en la matanza de Barrios Altos, perpetrada en Lima por un escuadrón militar el 3 de noviembre de 1991.
