Japanese-Peruvians rally in Tokyo, demand Fujimori go home

TOKYO, Japan - A group of Japanese-Peruvians staged a demonstration Dec. 10 in Tokyo's busy Shibuya district, demanding deposed Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori go home and answer to allegations about human rights abuses under his administration. The Japanese-Peruvians, along with Japanese members of a citizens group calling for democratic reforms in Peru, chanted ''Fujimori, go home.'' Fujimori, who is staying at the Tokyo home of novelist Ayako Sono, refuses to return to Peru, where authorities want him to face trial over allegations that he amassed illegal funds while in office.
