JUNE 20, 2001 Former Massachusetts Institute of Technology student Lori Berenson will make a final statement at her terrorism trial in Peru today before the judges render a final verdict. Berenson is accused of helping the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement launch a failed plot to take over Congress. She was previously convicted by a secret military court of treason, a sentence overturned for a civilian trial. Berenson has maintained her innocence throughout the ordeal. The movement is named for Tupac Amaru, an Indian leader who was executed for arising against the Spanish in the 1700s. Get the Story:
