On Monday the trial of Peruvian ex-president Alberto Fujimori began with prosecutors requesting that he be convicted to a 30-year jail sentence for human rights abuses. Fujimori took advantage of the opportunity to speak in order to loudly proclaim his innocence and defend his ten years as head of state.
At times the proceedings became contentious as Fujimori quarreled with the trial's lead judge. An example of this occurred in a brief, heated exchange shown in the following video:
The trial was suspended early and will continue on Wednesday after Fujimori claimed to be affected by high blood pressure.
