Fujimori Gets New Peruvian Passport

Former president of Peru, Alberto Fujimori, who has been in Japan since resigning in 2000, has received a new Peruvian passport in Tokyo. Fujimori, who faces human rights and corruption charges in Peru, has claimed Japanese citizenship since leaving Peru but has said that he plans to return to the country to stand for presidential elections in April 2006. Peru has unsuccessfully sought his extradition from Japan and has banned him from running for office until 2010.
