LIMA - As Peruvian authorities detained opposition leader Keiko Fujimori on Tuesday night for a new 15-month jail term, the politician published a pre-recorded video alleging “persecution” and vowing to “end her silence” on the case.
In the video, which was published on Facebook and appeared to have been recorded earlier on Tuesday, Fujimori said she would “give a political response to this political persecution.” She said her husband would seek support from foreign governments and organizations to support her release. Either way, prosecutors have aggressively gone after top politicians but in most cases have not filed formal charges.
