Lori Berenson: Granted Parole
“I certainly am saddened, and I’m sorry that I have been part of something that was considered so damaging,” she said, bouncing her son on her knee as she acknowledged her ties to M.R.T.A., now a thoroughly marginalized group. “My participation has been collaborating. You know, I rented a house. I shared ideological things,” she continued, claiming she never had plans to participate in violence. – excerpt from NY Times article

Lori and Salvador are Granted Parole!
On May 25, 2010 a Peruvian judge, after carefully studying Lori’s application for what in Perú is termed “conditional liberty” (parole), determined that Lori has earned her freedom. Lori and her son Salvador will be leaving prison in a few days and moving to an apartment in Lima.
There is a story at the NY Daily News: here.
Background: Lori Berenson, a New Yorker, has been in prison in Peru for decades, based on charges that she worked with a revolutionary movement in Peru. Many progressive groups helped the cause to free her over the years, including PeaceSmiths of Long Island.
