Peru Allows Once-Imprisoned U.S. Activist Lori Berenson to Visit Family for Holidays

HeadlineDec 20, 2011

The once-imprisoned U.S. activist Lori Berenson has been allowed to leave Peru for the first time since she was arrested in 1995. Berenson boarded a plane last night along with her two-year-old son. She is planning to spend the holidays with her parents in New York City. Berenson was paroled last year after serving 15 years of a 20-year sentence for aiding the outlawed Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement.
