Peru's former and pardoned President Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000) remains hospitalized at Lima-based Centenario Clinic due to a cardiac arrhythmia, his personal doctor Alejandro Aguinaga informed.
According to the physician, Fujimori woke up abruptly last Sunday feeling a shortness of breath. Thus, he was transferred to the medical center.
At the healthcare center, the 80-year-old was evaluated by cardiologists more than once. His health condition improved by Tuesday morning.
On Monday, the Judicial Branch admitted the request submitted by La Cantuta and Barrios Altos victims' relatives to review the humanitarian pardon, in accordance with the resolution by the
Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
Last June, the Court ruled that the Peruvian State shall —constitutionally— review the pardon granted to the ex-president, which was questioned by the victims' families, among others.
