Former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori, released from prison in December after serving 16 years for crimes against humanity, said on Friday he had been diagnosed with a malignant tongue tumor.
Fujimori, now 85, was sent to prison in 2009 over massacres committed by army death squads in 1991 and 1992 in which 25 people, including a child, were killed in supposed anti-terrorist operations.

So, I’m going to start treatment alongside my family,” Fujimori said.
