Lori Berenson to be Released on Parole in Peru
----------------------------------------------



In news from Peru, the American activist Lori Berenson is expected to be
released on parole today after serving nearly 15 years in prison.
Berenson was convicted in 1996 by hooded Peruvian military judges of
collaborating with the leftist rebel group MRTA. Berenson was briefly
released earlier this year but was reincarcerated in August on a
technicality. Berenson cannot leave Peru until her 20-year sentence
ends—unless Peru’s president commutes it. [More on Berenson case
