Peru's constitutional court has ordered the "immediate release" of 85-year-old former President Alberto Fujimori, who has been serving a 25-year-old sentence over the death of 25 Peruvians and corruption during his administration in the 1990s.
The court had previously also ruled on the release of the former leader on humanitarian grounds in 2017. However, later the ruling was annulled. Even last year, the constitutional court issued a ruling in the former president's favor, but later suspended it due to Inter-American Court of Human Rights pressure.
