Subject: M-G: terrorist appeal


> 12/06/97 15:29 US prisoner Lori Berenson deserves no new trial:
> Peruvian official LIMA. An influential Peruvian lawmaker argued
> Saturday US legislators were off base in asking for an appeal for
> convicted terrorist Lori Berenson, a New Yorker serving a life term
> in a top-security prison. Berenson, 27, "has been convicted under
> national anti-terrorism laws. No other country can interfere now,"
> said Daniel Espichan, a ruling party deputy and former prosecutor in
>  terrorism cases. Local press reports have said members of the US
> Congress asked the State Department to put pressure on Peruvian
> authorities to grant Berenson a new trial after her 1996 sentencing
> by an anonymous judge. Berenson was arrested in December 1995 during
>  a police raid on a safe house operated by rebels from the left-wing
>  Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA).{AFP}
