TL;DR

Peru's former president, Alberto Fujimori, has been released from jail after a ruling from the country's highest court granted him a humanitarian pardon, despite objections from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Fujimori, a divisive figure, had been serving a 25-year sentence for corruption and ordering massacres committed by an army death squad in the 1990s. His release has sparked controversy and concerns about accountability for human rights violations.
