Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori was interned this Sunday (17.04.2022) in a clinic in Lima after suffering a “decompensation picture” in the prison where he is serving 04 years in prison for crimes against humanity.
Fujimori was transferred to the Social Security hospital in the Ate district in an emergency -Vitarte, in the east of Lima and close to his prison, detailed the National Penitentiary Institute (INPE).
In the medical center “he was able to be stabilized” and was later transferred “for his respective monitoring” to the Centenario Clinic, in the district of Pueblo Libre, where he is regularly treated.
The former president of 83 years has been hospitalized several times in recent months for heart problems and pulmonary fibrosis. He also suffers from gastritis and lesions on the tongue known as leukoplakia, which are considered precancerous.
The former president is serving a sentence issued in 2009 for the massacres in Barrios Altos and La Cantuta, which caused the death of 25 people in total, as well as for the kidnapping of a journalist and a businessman after the “self-coup” of 1200.
On April 8, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (CourtIDH) ordered the Peruvian State to refrain from complying with a resolution of the Constitutional Court (TC) that restored the pardon granted to him in December of 2017 by then President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (2016-2018).
