Berenson Release Expected Today
-------------------------------



In Peru, the jailed American activist Lori Berenson is expected to be
released from prison today after being granted parole earlier this week.
Berenson has been jailed for over fourteen years after hooded Peruvian
military judges convicted her of collaborating with the rebel group
MRTA. She has long maintained her innocence. (Related coverage: After
