Fujimori trial date set in Peru

The former president of Peru, Alberto Fujimori, is to stand trial on
charges of human rights violations in November, a Peruvian judicial
panel has ruled.

The trial will centre on allegations of murder and kidnapping related
to the activities of death squads in the 1990s, Judge Cesar San Martin
said.

Mr Fujimori, 69, who was extradited from Chile last month, faces up to
30 years in jail if convicted.

The former president will then face two other major trials for
corruption.

There will also be a fourth trial over allegations that Mr Fujimori
ordered an illegal search of the apartment of the wife of jailed ex-spy
chief Vladimiro Montesinos.

Mr Fujimori is currently being held at a police base in the capital,
Lima.[Apparently it's no big secret any longer where he is. -NYTr]
