International press gives special coverage today to Alberto Fujimori's sentence to 25 years of prison, after a Special Court found him guilty of human rights violations.

In Chile, which government authorized Fujimori's extradition, the online version of El Mercurio features a big photograph of Fujimori, and a couple lines stating "Fujimori is found guilty".

British BBC's headlines said "Fujimori gets lengthy jail term", and called as "historic" the 25 year prison verdict on human rights violations.

The Miami Herald stated “Peru's Fujimori convicted in murder trial” and highlighted the performance of the three-judge court chaired by César San Martín, for respecting the judiciary processes.

The New York Times says “Peru’s ex president convicted of rights abuses”, referring to the 15-month process during which Fujimori tried to defend himself.

The Washington Post published a long article, "Former Peruvian President Convicted in Murder, Kidnapping Trial".

Al-Jazeera opens its Americas section with a special report also titled , "Fujimori jailed on murder charges".

And Time magazine's online edition features a special article analyzing the facts and the probable consequences of Fujimori's sentence.
