Peru: Special Treatment for Fujimori?
Not for the first time, there are suggestions that former President Fujimori is receiving preferential treatment in jail.

I must say the distance and film quality make him difficult to identify in the clip, but from the last few seconds it does seem to be him, and the still photographs look unequivocal. The article also claims that he is allowed to receive large numbers of visitors.
