Controversial Ex-President Fujimori Freed from Prison in Peru

Peru's former President Alberto Fujimori has been released from prison ahead of completing his sentence for authorizing a death squad. The release comes after the Constitutional Court of Peru ordered the restoration of a medical pardon he received in 2017, which was later annulled by the Supreme Court. Fujimori, a divisive figure known for defeating terrorists and implementing austere economic policies, was sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2009. His release has sparked controversy and protests due to the charges against him, including the extrajudicial execution of civilians and other crimes.
