Peru's former President Alberto Fujimori has been sentenced to 25 years in prison after being found guilty of ordering killings1 and kidnappings in the 1990s. He was held responsible for the massacre2 of 25 people by an army death squad3 during the war against Maoist guerrillas. The first time in Latin America that a democratically elected leader has been convicted of such abuses. His lawyers say he will appeal. Mr. Fujimori's daughter Keiko said the Fujimo Movement she leads will continue to support him.
Obviously the Fujimori Movement will not set back and fold its arms. We are going out onto the streets to openly demonstrate our support for the best president this country has had, for the president who saved our country from terrorism, we shall do so peacefully because we feel proud of the job he did. If they think that this sentence will weaken us politically, they are wrong.

The mayor of Chisinau, an opposition7 leader Dorin Chirtoaca said the protest had not been planned.

It lasted about 10 seconds or so. But that was long enough to bring down already fragile buildings in the old part of town.
