Thousands march in Lima, Peru on Dec. 28, 2017, in protest against the humanitarian pardon granted to former President Alberto Fujimori, who was serving a 25-year sentence for human rights abuses. Fujimori is a controversial figure who ruled from 2000 - 2009. He is revered by some who admire him for beating down a guerrilla movement but derided by those who point to his conviction and 25-year sentence for human rights abuses and corruption. He was found guilty for perpetrating massacres in two neighborhoods in Lima, as well as kidnapping journalist Gustavo Gorriti and businessman Samuel Dyer Ampudia.
