Peru’s former President Alberto Fujimori, who was convicted of human rights abuses and corruption, has died aged 86.



Fujimori governed Peru between 1990 and 2000 before being forced from office amid allegations of corruption.
His tough stance against a left-wing guerrilla insurgency at a time when the rebels looked likely to seize power won him plaudits from many.
But his war on the insurgents also resulted in serious abuses – such as the killing of 25 people by government-backed death squads, for which he was given a lengthy jail sentence.
