Peru’s constitutional court ordered the immediate release of former President Alberto Fujimori, who is serving a 25-year sentence for human rights abuses and corruption, according to a court document published on Tuesday. “This Constitutional Court orders the National Penitentiary Institute and the director of the Barbadillo prison to order the immediate release of Alberto Fujimori,” said the court in a ruling released to the media. He received a presidential pardon in 2017, but pressure from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) repeatedly snarled his attempts to regain freedom. The country’s highest court ruled that an appeal to restore a 2017 pardon for the ailing Fujimori on humanitarian grounds was “founded,” the document said. “The former president is very calm,” Riera said on Tuesday outside the prison holding Fujimori.

Voters in Venezuela rejected the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) jurisdiction over the country’s territorial dispute with Guyana and backed the creation of a new state in the potential oil-rich Esequibo region in a Sunday referendum. The court said in April it had jurisdiction, though a final ruling on the matter could be years away. There was no organized campaign against the referendum and analysts expected voters who opposed it to stay home. He has said the ICJ ruling on Friday prohibits Venezuela from “annexing or trespassing upon Guyanese territory”. Brazil said on Wednesday it had intensified “defensive actions” along its northern border amid the territorial dispute.

Sometimes these translation trouble columns have a theme and sometimes, we have to face machirulos and children of rigor with financial wrists who spit upwards. In English, the literal translation to “spit up” refers to baby puke. From big professional tasks to doing household chores, a child of “rigor” or “severity” will not get things done without nagging, pressure, or some form of impending doom. Although I think journalists in general, as a group of watchdogs constantly on deadline, make for quite the “rigorous” family.

Guillermo Ferraro, president-elect Javier Milei’s pick for infrastructure minister, described Vaca Muerta as the “core” to plan freight transport in Argentina and announced two developments the La Libertad Avanza (LLA) administration is interested in pursuing: the North-Patagonian train and an aqueduct. In a TV interview, Ferraro laid out his vision for financing infrastructure during Milei’s upcoming administration. “Everything the private sector can do, the private sector will do,” he said.

It’s Argentina’s national cricket team, and they represent a tradition that goes back over 200 years. The Argentine men’s national cricket team dominates the South American Cricket Championship, lifting it for a record 12th time in 2023, ten more than anyone else. Argentina is one of 96 associate members of the International Cricket Council (ICC), meaning that cricket is played there, but it does not qualify as a full member. “In those days, the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) used to visit with a team that was virtually the English national team. “We have important clubs that played cricket long ago and have grass and synthetic fields,” said Pereyra.

Pope Francis, who is suffering from lung inflammation, is in “good and stable” condition, receiving antibiotic therapy intravenously, and will limit his activities for the next few days in order to conserve his strength, the Vatican said on Monday. “The pope’s condition is good and stable, he does not have a fever and his respiratory condition is decidedly improving,” Bruni said. Bruni added that Francis, 86, would continue to carry out “easier”, institutional tasks, his condition permitting. On Saturday, a government source confirmed that Argentina’s outgoing President Alberto Fernández will not meet with the Pope this week. When he raised his right hand a bandage holding an IV tube used to administer the antibiotics was visible.
