AI Canada: Urgent Action: Peru: Bring Former President Fujimori to Justice
Action Alert from Amnesty International Canada
TAKE ACTION:
Alberto Fujimori was President of Peru from 1990 to 2000. He has been in Japan since abandoning his post in November 2000. On November 7, 2005 he arrived in Chile and was detained on the request of the Peruvian authorities. The Peruvian authorities requested the extradition of Alberto Fujimori on charges of corruption and grave human rights violations, including killings, forced disappearances and torture.
Amnesty International considers that the widespread and systematic nature of the human rights violations that were committed under his government constitute crimes against humanity under international law. Therefore, Amnesty International considers that the Chilean authorities must either honour the extradition request from Peru, or exercise their duty to investigate and prosecute Alberto Fujimori in Chile.
Amnesty International is campaigning to ensure that the crimes committed during Fujimori’s term in office do not go unpunished. A recent report details a number of the human rights violations of which Fujimori is being accused by the Peruvian State. They include the massacre of 15 women, men and children in Barrios Altos, Lima, in 1991 and the forced disappearance and murder of nine students and a lecturer from La Cantuta University in 1992.
TAKE ACTION:
On 7 December 2005 the Spanish Section of Amnesty International launched a web action to collect as many signatures as possible to support a call to the Chilean authorities either to extradite Fujimori to Peru or to investigate him in Chile, according to Chile's obligations under international law. More than 12,800 signatures have already been collected. Please ensure we reach 100,000 by the end of February 2006 by adding your name to the petition.
