LiveBlog follows Alberto Fujimori's Human Rights Trial.
www.fujimoriontrial.org
Praxis Institute for Social Justice invites you to visit our bilingual liveblog and follow the developments of Alberto Fujimori's human rights trial. Fujimori served as president in Peru from 1990-2000, during which time he is suspected of thousands of human rights violations. Such allegations were supported by the Peruvian Truth Commissions Final Report published in 2003.
This precedent-setting trial began on Human Rights Day (December 10, 2007) soon after Fujimori's extradition from Chile, making him the first head of state to be extradited to his home country to stand trial for human rights violations. The trial holds great importance for the development of both human rights and international criminal law, thus the blog seeks to widen coverage of its proceedings and assure Fujimori a fair trial while at the same time making sure he is held accountable for any crimes he committed.
The Fujimoriontrial.org blog arises out of our Trial Monitoring Project funded by the Foundation Open Society Institute (FOSI) and in collaboration with the International Senior Lawyers Project (ISLP). It includes daily posts by our expert national and international observers, news summaries, links to relevant documents, and observations and analysis by experts, students and victims of human rights violations in Peru. It is a resource for journalists, students, academics, human rights victims and the general public.
We invite English and Spanish speakers to join our dialogue and share their ideas and perspective. Please share the blog with others!
