 SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori said Friday he refuses to appear before the courts in Peru because he lacks confidence in its justice system.
One day after being freed on bail by Chile's Supreme Court, Fujimori vehemently denied the corruption and human rights charges filed against him by the Peruvian government in its request to Chile for its extradition.
He admitted that "some isolated cases" of human rights abuses occurred during his 1990-2000 administration, but said they happened against specific orders he issued to the military forces fighting a bloody wave of terrorism.
