Fujimori gets lengthy jail term - 25 years
Source: BBC News

Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori has been sentenced to 25 years in jail for ordering killings and kidnappings by security forces.

At the end of a 15-month trial, judges found him guilty of two death-squad killings of 25 people during the conflict with guerrillas in the 1990s.

After being sentenced, Mr Fujimori said he would appeal against the verdict.

Human rights group Amnesty International described the verdict as "a milestone in the fight for justice".

2. Not so long ago
His crimes were about 10 -15 years ago. I hope we can try and convict BushCo. sooner. But I'd settle for waiting for 10 years if we could throw Bush and Cheney in prison for 25 years.
