Protests broke out [8] in Lima, Cuzco and other cities in Peru after the country's Constitutional Tribunal on March 17 overruled [9] a lower court annulment [10] of a pardon [11] for former dictator Alberto Fujimori. Further protests were ignited on March 28, when the Tribunal ordered [12] his release from prison. On March 31, however, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR [13]) ruled [14] that the Peruvian state must refrain from executing the release order while the IACHR weighs provisional measures requested by representatives of the victims of the 1991 Barrios Altos [15] and 1992 Cantuta [16] massacres, for which Fujimori was convicted and sentenced in 2009. Fujimori has also been facing a judicial process over accusations of mass forced sterilizations [17] under his government. (Jurist [20])
