Peru's Supreme Court ordered former president Alberto Fujimori to return to prison. The judges annulled a presidential humanitarian pardon from last December, which got Fujimori out of a 25-year jail sentence for human rights abuses. It's the latest twist in a drama that contributed to former President Pablo Kuczynski's ousting this year. The pardon was widely criticized as a quid pro quo in exchange for legislative support from Fujimori's son.
