An interesting twist in the human rights trial of former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori took place today when his former right-hand man- ex-intelligence chief Vladimiro Montesinos- took to the witness stand. Both men returned to face each other since Fujimori fled to exile eight years ago and Montesinos backed his former boss by denying that Fujimori masterminded massacres committed by government commandos in the 1990s.

Fujimori is currently serving a twenty year jail sentence for arms smuggling.
