For Eloy Espinosa-Saldaña, the decision of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IDH), which ordered the non-release of the former president Alberto Fujimori, it is a “pull on the wrist” to the Constitutional Court (TC). The tribune indicated that the sentence went against the mandate of the international court itself.
“It is, at the international level, a slap on the face to the court for not understanding that he did not have to enter this film, for not understanding that the supervision is done by the Inter-American Court with the support of the Supreme Court, because it is a former president of the Republic”, Espinosa-Saldaña highlighted in an interview with Successful.
The tribune explained that the former head of state was tried in Peru and sentenced to 25 years. “He has not been able to demonstrate that he is in a situation of humanitarian pardon, the 2017 pardon had a series of deficiencies”he added.
Along these lines, Espinosa-Saldaña explained that if an objective team, appointed by the Judiciary and the National Penitentiary Institute (Inpe), shows that the former president has a terminal illness, “Fujimori goes home, or goes to a clinic to be treated.”
