Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori, who was serving a 25-year prison term for human rights abuses during his rule, has been freed after the country’s highest court restored a contentious 2017 pardon.
The court ruled to restore the pardon on humanitarian grounds, despite criticism from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and victims’ families.
