LIMA, Peru — President Alan Garcia says he doesn’t consider Lori Berenson a threat to the country, suggesting he may be inclined to commute the New Yorker’s accomplice- to-terrorism sentence so she can go home.
A three- judge panel returned the 40-year-old Berenson and her toddler son to prison Aug. 18 after prosecutors objected to her May parole, calling her a danger to society. Garcia said in an interview with CNN broadcast Tuesday night that while he understands many Peruvians feel Berenson should complete her 20-year term, he personally has sympathy for the activist and her son, Salvador.
