LIMA, Peru — A Peruvian court has ruled that paroled U.S. activist Lori Berenson and her toddler son can travel to New York for the holidays, she and her father confirmed Friday.
A three-judge appeals court on Wednesday overturned a lower-court judge’s ruling denying Berenson permission to travel, said Guillermo Gonzalez, spokesman for Peru’s judicial system. He said she could leave the country from Dec. 16 to Jan. 11.
Berenson was paroled last year after serving 15 years for aiding leftist rebels, but she can’t leave Peru permanently until her sentence ends in 2015.
