Fujimori found guily

About half an hour ago, the Peruvian supreme court found Fujimori guilty of human rights abuses. Sounds like there's been a small confrontation between members of the Peruvian CGTP union peak organization and some Fujimori supporters, but nothing too crazy.

I'm no expert on this stuff--I probably know no more than your average Peruvian campesino (probably less, really), but I think this is desirable, as long as it doesn't result in any violence.

Fujimori's daughter is talking about running for president in the next election--her platform effectively consists of "Free my father--remember what a great president he was?" It doesn't seem to be getting too far with the Peruvian electorate, but down here, Lord only knows what wackiness can occur between now and election time.
