Peru braces for rebels' fight - 2,000 guerrillas to get new trials
"In recent weeks, Peruvian courts have annulled the first batch of roughly 450 terrorist cases against jailed Shining Path guerrillas, including Guzman and others tried in military courts more than a decade ago. The decisions, based on a January ruling that those secret courts were unconstitutional, will grant new trials to an estimated 2,000 guerrillas at the same time the Shining Path is stirring after a decade of dormancy. Guzman's life sentence was annulled March 20, although prosecutors filed new charges against him last Tuesday. Those whose sentences were thrown out will remain jailed pending new trials." |
