A Step Toward Freedom?
Amid political upheaval in Peru, efforts to free American journalist and activist Lori Berenson from a Peruvian prison may have taken a small step forward this season. A Supreme Military Council of Peru nullified her life sentence. This fall, the Peruvian government admitted that Berenson was never a leader of a terrorist group, that she should not have been tried by a military tribunal, that she was not guilty of treason, and, therefore, her life sentence was nullified. Berenson now faces a trial in civilian court, although most doubt that this trial will meet standards of due process or openness. Berenson still maintains her innocence.
