Fujimori in clinic for treatment: doctor

Ex-president Alberto Fujimori, who is serving a 25 year sentence for human rights abuses, has been admitted to a local clinic for treatment of digestive problems, his doctor said today.
The 74-year-old was taken to the clinic Friday night amid tight security after coming down with stomach pains and high blood pressure, Alejandro Aguinaga, a legislator and head of Fujimori's medical team said.
"Ex-president Fujimori has digestive problems and for some months has been losing weight, so it was decided to do an endoscopy and various gastric tests," Aguinaga told reporters.
Fujimori was president of Peru from 1990 to 2000 when he was impeached on corruption charges.

He was convicted in 2009 of being behind the killings of 25 people by a government-backed death squad in the course of Peru's war against the Maoist Shining Path rebel group.
Sentenced to 25 years in prison, Fujimori and his family say he is suffering from cancer of the tongue and have asked that his sentenced be commuted for humanitarian reasons.
