	Peru: the disintegration of the Fujimori regime
		Under Fujimori, the security forces were unleashed in a brutally effective counterinsurgency campaign that crushed the Maoist Shining Path guerrilla movement, which had previously seized control of large parts of the countryside.
		Fujimori credited his secret police chief with uncovering the arms smuggling, which involved upwards of 10,000 Kalashnikov assault rifles, adding that the episode proved the need for such a man at the helm of the Peruvian security apparatus.

	Questions and answers regarding Peru's criminal prosecution of Fujimori (Human Rights Watch Press release)
		Fujimori claims to be a victim of a political witch-hunt.
		On September 5, Peruvian Attorney General Nelly Calderón formally accused former president Alberto K. Fujimori of murder, causing grave injuries, and "disappearances." The criminal charges against Fujimori were filed in the wake of the unanimous August 27 decision of the Peruvian Congress to lift his immunity as former head of state.
		Fujimori is accused of responsibility in the extrajudicial execution in 1991 of fifteen people, including a child, at a fund-raising party in a poor tenement in Lima's Barrios Altos district, and the "disappearance" in 1992 of nine students and a professor from La Cantuta University.

	Peru: Human Rights After Fujimori (Human Rights Watch Backgrounder, March 2002)
		During Fujimori's last term in office (1995-2000), Vladimiro Montesinos, the de facto head of the National Intelligence Service (SIN) and a close Fujimori advisor, used a combination of bribes and extortion to control state institutions such as the armed forces, the police, the tax office, the electoral authorities, and the judiciary.
		Fujimori, now resident in Japan, also faces prosecution for giving Montesinos a severance payment of $15 million for "services to the nation." Arrest warrants have been forwarded to Interpol in both cases, and Peru is expected soon to formally request Japan to extradite Fujimori.
		Fujimori acknowledged that the antiterrorist courts had convicted hundreds of innocent people, and he set up an ad-hoc committee to recommend cases for a presidential pardon.

		Fujimori's decision shocked the nation, left even detractors scratching their heads and raised new questions about the future of Peru's relations with the United States and its role in the war on drugs.
		Fujimori's decision, which also includes deactivating the country's powerful National Intelligence Service, is clearly linked to Thursday's broadcast of a videotape on the cable channel Canal N, which showed the president's close advisor, Vladimir Montesinos, paying a former member of the opposition to defect and join Fujimori's party.
		But Fujimori's allies in Congress came up with a tricky solution: He was originally elected under the old constitution, which didn't bind the president to such pesky limitations, so he shouldn't be obligated to observe the terms of the new one.

	Washington bows to Fujimori's vote fraud (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Clinton administration's criticism of Fujimori over the electoral fraud is the latest chapter in a decade-old relationship in which Washington has frequently touted the Peruvian regime as a model for the rest of the continent.
		If the Clinton administration has criticized Fujimori and expressed sympathy for his electoral rival, Toledo, it is out of fear that the former may only be aggravating social discontent and recognition that it has nothing to fear from the latter.
		In a real sense, the Fujimori regime is the most finished expression of methods of rule that have emerged throughout Latin America in the wake of the formal transfer of power from military dictatorships to civilian presidencies over the past two decades.

	Army Played 'A Key Role' In Departure Of Fujimori (washingtonpost.com)

	CNN.com - Fujimori: Interpol warrant not legit - Mar. 11, 2003
		Alberto Fujimori, the former Peruvian president living in self-imposed exile in Japan, issued a statement Tuesday denying the legitimacy of an international warrant issued for his arrest.
		Interpol had suspended an earlier warrant for Fujimori on February 27 after asking Peruvian officials to provide evidence tying the former president to a paramilitary death squad and to demonstrate the charges were not politically motivated.
		Fujimori said Interpol's notice did not mean it backed Lima's allegations, but that it was simply transmitting a request from the Peruvian government.

		Fujimori, his voice slightly distorted by anxiety but unmistakable in its nasal tone, was at one end of the line.
		After Fujimori's sweeping victory, Montesinos convinced Fujimori that his life was in danger, and persuaded him to move to the Círculo Militar, the army officer's social club, which was guarded by army troops.
		Some weeks later, as Fujimori was lulling the OAS general assembly with promises of a prompt return to democracy, military intelligence agents were busily distributing a leaflet in Lima: Under a picture of the dictator, the title said it all: Fujimori: President for life of Peru.

		In 1990, as Fujimori rose to power, Montesinos became the president's adviser and mediator in his relations with the SIN and the army.
		A first contact between the two men was established during the electoral campaign of Fujimori when he was accused of having cheated on a property deal in order to save taxes.
		Especially after Fujimori's "autogolpe" in 1992, allegedly inspired by Montesinos, the SIN became, like the military, a state within the state.

		Fujimori's letter spoke of a "new correlation of forces." It was an apparent reference to the fact that opposition lawmakers won control of Congress last week.
		Fujimori and Montesinos had controlled almost all aspects of Peruvian society -- from Congress to the courts to television stations -- and his resignation has set off a power struggle to fill the vacuum he leaves.
