Author Vargas Llosa: Fujimori verdict sends warning to dictators Lima  - Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa on Wednesday joined celebrations of the historic ruling that ordered former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori to 25 years in jail for human rights abuses and crimes against humanity.

For the author of "Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter" and "Conversation in the Cathedral," among other works, the decision is a great precedent not just for Peru, but for all of Latin America and world humanity.
