Hayden Gore of the Denver Justice and Peace Committee was invited by Visiting Associate Professor Hannah Garry to speak today at Colorado Law on the ongoing Alberto Fujimori trial in Peru. He recently spent February in Peru observing the trial of former President Alberto Fujimori and accompanying the family members of the victims from the Barrios Altos and La Cantuta University massacres for which Fujimori stands accused. Mr. Gore provided an insider's view into the recent developments of the court case, shared his reflections on the testimony of the death squad agents that carried out the massacres, and described the events that lead up to this historic trial. For background on the case against Fujimori, read Mr. Gore’s blog about the trial for Amnesty International USA.
