In news from Peru, the American activist Lori Berenson was released on parole Monday after serving nearly 15 years in prison. She left the prison along with her young son Salvador. Berenson did not speak to reporters, but in a message posted on their website Berenson’s parents said they expect the state prosecutor to appeal the decision to release her. Berenson was convicted in 1996 by hooded Peruvian military judges of collaborating with the rebel group MRTA.
