November 19: Justice Impunity and Solidarity in Peru. Molly Vieg & Kara Erickson. Last November the Local Amnesty Group and Peace and Justice Teach In's screened the film Justice Without Borders. We also welcomed guest speak Gisela Perea Ortiz, a human rights activist from Peru whose story is featured in the film. Molly and Kara traveled to Peru this summer and accompanied the family members of the La Cantuta Massacre as they marked the 16th anniversary of the crime, and reburied the victims. They also served as International Observers at the Alberto Fujimori trial. Please join us as they update us on the progress of the trial and Gisela's story.
