LIMA (Reuters) - Lori Berenson, a New Yorker once jailed in Peru for helping Marxist insurgents, is returning to the United States with her six-year-old son after finishing a 20-year sentence, her lawyer said Tuesday.
Berenson, 46, was making preparations to leave Peru "in coming hours," said Anibal Apari, her attorney and the father of her son. He declined to be more specific.
Apari and Berenson met in prison in 1997. He was also an inmate at the time.
Berenson was on parole for the past 5 years after spending 15 years in prison.
In 1996, Berenson was found guilty of supporting the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, or MRTA, a guerilla group active in the 1980s and 90s. She was never convicted of participating in violent acts.

Just in time to be Bernie Sanders’ running mate.

that is quite specific enough
quite specific. especially as the child is six and she was on parole 5 years ago.
How do you have a six year old kid when you are serving a 20 year sentence? Maybe Peruvian prisons aren’t so bad a place after all.
She looks a helluva lot older than 46. Prison life in Peru must be really rough. I wonder if briefly playing revolutionary was worth it?
What? They got coed prisons?
I guess the White House invitation is not far behind ...
I remember when that happened. Mr. Mercat and I have been to Peru and have family connections there. She was quite a cutie at the time. For some reason I’m surprised she served as long a sentence as she did.
A Rachel Corrie wannabe.
Why would she come back here?
If she likes Marxism so much, shouldn’t she go to Cuba?
she looks terrible for 46. If I remember her story correctly, she was a real nutcase and I think her parents were too. There is no way to know if she ever learned her lesson.

Maybe she likes the way things have “progressed” here, in the last 20 years. Who knows?
LOL
I’m sure she had good intentions. But so do many members of ISIS.
They should have shot her.

I’ve seen Peru prisons on the show Locked Up Abroad.
More of a communal affair. Definitely no luxury cells there.
Because the gay Caliph in the White House is to the left of her on the political spectrum.
This malignant little maoist will shortly have lifetime tenured professorship at some university.
