Alberto Fujimori, a former president of Peru who was convicted for human rights abuses, dies at 86

Alberto Fujimori, the former Peruvian president whose decadelong presidency began with triumphs righting Peru’s economy and defeating a brutal insurgency only to end in a disgrace of autocratic excess that sent him to prison, has died. He was 86. Fujimori, who governed with an increasingly authoritarian hand in 1990-2000, was pardoned in December from his convictions for corruption and responsibility for the murder of 25 people.
