Forgive me – Ex-president begs from hospital bed
Peru’s ailing former leader, Mr. Alberto Fujimori, is begging the
people for forgiveness, two days after receiving a presidential pardon
that sparked street protests.
“I am aware that the results of my government were well received on one side, but I admit that I have let down other compatriots, and I ask them to forgive me with all my heart,” Fujimori said in a Facebook video filmed from his hospital bed.
The 79-year-old had been serving a 25-year sentence for corruption and human rights abuses committed during his time in office from 1990 to 2000.
He was transferred from prison to a hospital on Saturday after suffering from low blood pressure and an irregular heartbeat, the latest in a string of hospitalizations.
In the video, Fujimori lay propped up on a hospital bed wearing a
white gown, with a blood pressure cuff on his right arm and another
monitor clasped to his left index finger. He talked over the constant
background beeping of a monitoring device.
Gray-haired and with bags under his eyes, he spoke clearly, looking directly into the camera but also glancing down as if checking a prepared text that was out of the camera’s view.
President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski ordered the pardon of Fujimori and seven other prisoners Sunday on humanitarian grounds, placing himself in the middle of a political crisis just days after he avoided impeachment.
The move set off street protests in Lima, and police fired tear gas and clashed with demonstrators who were marching Monday against the pardon and demanding that Kuczynski step down.
The president defended his decision in a televised message to the nation.
“I am convinced that those of us who feel democratic should not allow Alberto Fujimori to die in prison, because justice is not revenge,” Kuczynski said in his address Monday night.
“It is about the health and chances of life of a former president of Peru who, having committed excesses and grave errors, was sentenced and has already completed 12 years” in prison, he said.
Anti-riot police deployed to prevent demonstrators from heading to the clinic where Fujimori is hospitalized, firing tear gas canisters and erecting barricades to disperse them.

“Out, out PPK! Out, out PPK!” demonstrators chanted in reference to the current president, who had promised during his electoral campaign last year that he would not free Fujimori.
“Fujimori, murderer and thief. No to the pardon!” read a sign held by the protesters, some of whom also carried a giant Peruvian flag.
Relatives of victims of Fujimori’s brutal rule took part in the march.
“We are here as relatives to reject this illegal pardon, because it does not correspond to the gravity of the crimes,” Gisella Ortiz, from a group of victims’ families, told reporters.
The pardon from Kuczynski came after Fujimori’s son Kenji drained votes away from a parliamentary bid Thursday to impeach Kuczynski on suspicion of corruption, sparking speculation the pardon was political.

Man vows to recoup money paid by his dad to prostitute
A commercial sex worker has been threatened by a man who vowed to collect the money his dad allegedly paid for her service.
The prostitute was visited in July this year by someone who accused her of sleeping with his father.The man threatened her and said he would take the money back that his father had paid.
At a hearing about a case involving alleged invasion of privacy and
threats by some persons, a judge heard how the prostitute, simply
identified as GHY, has had her character defamed through spurious
allegations by some men who allegedly wanted her services free of
charge.
She alleged that her privacy was being infringed upon.
The judge ruled that, being a sex worker does not disqualify her from having a private life, granting an injunction to the escort who has been harassed online.
GYH has been caused considerable distress by online publications about her sex life, physical and mental health, the High Court heard.
These include allegations that she has HIV/AIDS, which she says are untrue.
GYH brought proceedings in London against “persons unknown” as, despite extensive efforts, it has proved impossible to trace any individual who has posted the material.
The perpetrator is still unknown, but is “most likely to be one male individual,” the High Court heard.
On Tuesday (today), Mr. Justice Warby said that an injunction was “amply justified” to restrain continued harassment of GYH and the misuse of private information about her.
The fact that GYH had publicised that she was an escort providing sexual services was relevant, but did not disqualify her from the protection given to private life, he added.
She is an “active user of social media and maintains a Facebook profile, a YouTube channel and a blog,” the court heard.
It would be going too far to say that a person providing sexual services for reward as an escort had an unqualified right to decide what information could be made public, the judge said.
Mr. Justice Warby added:
The judge added that if a sex worker practised unsafe sex and had contracted HIV/AIDS, yet continued to work, there would be a clear justification for warning those who might suffer the consequences.
But GYH stated that she did not practise unsafe sex and was HIV negative — and there was “credible uncontradicted evidence” that the allegations were false, the judge said.
The woman said the abuse began in December 2015 after she received a text message from someone claiming to be a student who wished to meet her socially but not pay for her services.
When GYH declined, the conversation deteriorated into abuse. She also received anonymous phone calls with further abuse.
Posts on a series of websites made allegations that she had spread sexually transmitted diseases, was anorexic and mentally ill, the court heard.
They use both her work name and legal name and also include specific and identifiable information about her and pictures, which are “often altered in an offensive manner.”

Adesua Etomi performs with her husband warri at again, Nigerians react!
Things that catch their fancy and things they are not feeling… Just as they seem to have stopped feeling the vibe between celebrity couple Bankole Wellington- Banky W and Adesua Etomi Wellington.
The first performance of Banky and Adesua had Nigerians ‘Ooohing and Aaaing’ in amazement especially since many had no idea that Adesua was a total package.
However, the performance between the two at a concert in Warri last night brought more jeers and cheers!
Many called out Banky for showcasing his wife on a track killed by Chidinma Ekile only for his wife to ‘murder’ it.
“She is not an artiste, Chidinma owns that song” they told him adding that Adesua’s voice is just ordinary with nothing special about it.
Meanwhile, during his introduction, Banky had introduced his wife as his latest artiste… Can Adesua cope with the criticism that might follow if she continues to tag along on every performance especially on this “All I Want Is You” track?
Maybe they should just stick to being a lovely celebrated Nollywood couple!
