Peruvian Constitutional Court Orders Immediate Release of Ex-President Fujimori
TL;DR
Peru's constitutional court has ordered the immediate release of former President Alberto Fujimori, who was serving a 25-year sentence for human rights abuses. The court ruled in favor of a 2017 pardon that had granted Fujimori release on humanitarian grounds but was later annulled. The court instructed the state prisons agency to release Fujimori "on the same day."
