Protests Continue Against President

Protesters in several cities staged a second day of demonstrations against President Alberto Fujimori, whose government is beset by high-level resignations and a spying scandal. The government is accused of revoking Israeli-born Baruch Ivcher’s citizenship because his television station aired reports implicating the military in torture and corruption. The station also released transcripts of almost 200 telephone conversations involving journalists, politicians and businessmen, allegedly taped by intelligence operatives. Fujimori named new ministers, including two army generals, to replace the five who resigned earlier in the week. But that sparked concern that he is drawing even closer to the military.
