| Lori Berenson is a US citizen being held as a
political prisoner in a harsh Peruvian jail high in the Andes.
In January, 1996 she was convicted of treason against Per� in
a secret military tribunal by a hooded judge. Without a chance
for a fair trial, the young reporter was sentenced to life in
prison with no possibility of parole.
Lori needs your help, and you can help
her. |

Majority of House Calls for Lori's
Release Between this week's House vote and
the recently circulated letter to Clinton, a majority of the
members of the House of Representatives now support Lori's
release.
Peru Leaves Human Rights Court Unwilling
to abide by a ruling of the Inter-American Human Rights Court,
Per� has withdrawn from the OAS court. Lori's case, currently
pending in that court, is left in limbo.
Congressional Letters The House letter
asking President Clinton to do all within his power to
effectuate immediate justice for Lori is now closed, having
garnered signatures from 181 Representatives.
A Senate letter urging Secretary of State Albright to bring
about a humanitarian release for Lori was signed by 33
Senators.
If your Senators or Representative signed the letters,
please thank them for supporting Lori.
Congressional Briefing about Lori's
case The Congressional Human Rights Caucus
sponsored a Congressional Briefing about Lori's case on
Wednesday. "Human Rights in Peru: The Lori Berenson
Case" was attended by well over 100 people.

BF>Is the "Berenson" a chance to do something constructive for the
non-partisan cause of human rights? I do not trust propaganda from any
corner, but felt at the time she was sentenced that her case warranted
more research than the simple acceptance of the "Berenson=Terrorist"
formula.
