Parole is Sustained for Lori Berenson
A three judge panel has rejected an appeal by the Peruvian State
Prosecutor that would have returned Lori and Salvador to prison. The panel
reaffirmed the decision of the original judge granting Lori parole because she has
fulfilled all necessary requirements. The conditions of parole require Lori to
remain in Peru until she has completed her sentence.

We are thrilled that Lori and Salvador will no longer face the possibility of a
return to prison. Once again, on behalf of Lori, Salvador and ourselves we thank
all of you who have given us your support, encouragement and good thoughts for these
many, many years.

All the best,

Rhoda and Mark B.

2. Lori Helene Berenson

(born November 13, 1969) is an American convicted in Peru of unlawful collaboration with the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA), which the Peruvian government regarded as a terrorist organization, and which had committed numerous attacks in attempting to overthrow the government. Her arrest and conviction, and the circumstances of her trials, provoked considerable attention in the United States and in Peru.

Berenson was arrested after securing press credentials and interviewing members of Peru's Congress along with a photographer. >>>

3. Finally! They'd better move to another country, just to make sure.

Hope this will close the book on a very long struggle for this lady.

4. Can't.

6. Maybe...

"Under her parole, the 41-year-old New Yorker cannot leave Peru until her 20-year sentence ends in 2015 — unless President Alan Garcia decides to commute it. He has said he would consider doing so only once the legal case ran its course".
