THURSDAY, JULY 18, 2002 The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has recommended Peru pay damages to an American woman convicted of terrorist crimes. The non-binding recommendation is not yet public but was reported by Reuters. An attorney cited by the news agency said it condemned ousted President Alberto K. Fujimori, who has since fled to Japan. Peru still plans to challenge the finding on Lori Berenson, a former Massachusetts Institute of Technology student convicted of aiding the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement in a failed plot to take over Peru's Congress. The movement is named for an Indian leader who was executed for arising against the Spanish in the 1700s. The dispute heads to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. A ruling at the court is binding on Peru. Get the Story:
