Lima, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Feb, 2018 ) :A Peruvian court ordered former president Alberto Fujimori on Monday to stand trial for the 1992 killings of six farmers, arguing that he lacks immunity despite a recent pardon for a different crime.
The National Criminal Court said on Twitter that the pardon granted to Fujimori in a human rights case for which he was serving a 25-year sentence did not apply to the murders of these six people. Prosecutors asked to try the ex-president and 22 others for the death squad killings.
