The Peruvian Supreme Court has sentenced Peru's former President, Alberto Fujimori, to 25 years in jail over human rights violations.
The 70-year-old ex-President has been found guilty of grave human rights violations including targeted killings and kidnappings during Peru's "Dirty War" in the early 1990s.
Human Rights Watch activists have expressed their satisfaction with the sentence of Alberto Fujimori claiming Fujimori's case was a precedent not only in Latin America but in the whole world, CNN reported.
Fujimori, who is going to appeal the sentence, is found responsible for the actions of the Colina unit, blamed for killing dozens of people as the government sought to halt the Shining Path rebel group.
Anti- and pro-Fujimori crowds had gathered outside the courtroom but no there were no clashes. Fujimori's 33-year-old daughter, Keiko, who will be a presidential candidate in 2011 presidential election, is quoted as saying the ruling was full of "hate and vengeance."
"We're going into the streets to demonstrate our open support for the best president this country has ever had, to the president who saved Peru from terrorism," she told reporters.
Alberto Fujimori was Peru's President between 1990 and 2000. The former President, who is a Peruvian of Japanese origin, fled to Japan in 2000. He was arrested after a visit to Peru's neighbor Chile in 2005, and was extradited in 2006 to be brought to court.
