Lori Berenson paroled by Peruvian court

A court in Peru has granted parole to Lori Berenson, the US woman convicted and jailed 15 years ago on charges of aiding a leftist revolutionary group in the country.  An anonymous military tribunal sentenced the New York native when she was 25 years old.  Her family maintained she was a political prisoner.  Under the terms of her release – expected very soon – she will not be allowed to leave Peru until the completion of her original sentence in 2015.  Berenson now has a 1-year-old son.
