LIMA, Peru A court in Peru revoked parole for American activist Lori Berenson and ordered on Wednesday that she be captured and sent back to prison to finish the last five years of her 20-year prison sentence for aiding leftist rebels.
Deputy Justice Minister Luis Marill said that Berenson should be arrested in the coming hours. Marill said the court had decided to overturn a May ruling granting Berenson parole.
Prosecutors had argued that the earlier ruling was riddled with errors. Berenson, 40, argued she poses no threat to society and should be allowed to remain free.
