Father of Lori Berenson says she is pregnant

LIMA, Peru (AP) -- New York native Lori Berenson, who is serving a 20-year sentence in Peru for collaborating with leftist guerrillas in the 1990s, is four weeks pregnant, her father says.

"It's a euphoric feeling for us," Mark Berenson, a former college professor, told the AP on Tuesday.

Lori Berenson, 38, is married to Anibal Apari, a paroled member of the Cuban-inspired Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, whom she met in jail.

Her father said the prison allows conjugal visits, but he has not had the chance to speak with Apari since news of the pregnancy.

A former Massachussets Institute of Technology student, Lori Berenson was arrested in November 1995 and a military court sentenced her the following to life in prison. A civilian court retried her in 2000, convicting her of the lesser crime of terrorist collaboration and reducing her sentence.

Is the baby going to live in jail with her or will the Berenson parents take the baby to NY?

Peru is too good a country to have to allow dog sh*t like Lori Berenson to reproduce in its prison system.

Met in jail?

Hmmmm. Jail isn’t what it used to be.

"The MRTA — best known for its four-month takeover of the Japanese ambassador's residence in 1996 in Lima — and the larger Shining Path rebel group plunged Peru into chaos in the 1980s and early 1990s.

But unlike the bloodier, Maoist-inspired Shining Path, which was known for wholesale massacres, the MRTA cultivated a Robin Hood image, distributing food from hijacked trucks in poor neighborhoods."

Nice. They ruin the economy for ten years, make the poor, poorer, shoot truck drivers, steal trucks, steal the goods from merchants and give some food to the poor who are now paying twice as much because of the war, crime, and hijacking.

And, now she is supported on the very backs of the poor through taxes. Nice, very nice.

No LB thread is complete without her famous “screaming face” picture that reminds so many of their ex-wives.

Okay, that didn't come out exactly right.

Anyone know the backstory on this woman? Was she really a collaborator with leftist gorillas, or was she convicted by a kangeroo court looking to stick it to an American?

Considering what life in a Peruvian jail must be like, I hope the baby is healthy. And that’s all I hope for this leftist b$tch who got what she deserved.

are we allowed to call the guy her “baby daddy”? and since she is white, is she considered “white trash”?
Perhaps the answer is NO to both since she is a liberal humanitarian?

She was in deep with the Marxist terrorists.

She rented their safe house for them. She posed as an "American journalist" to gain access to the Peruvian congress and took along the wife of the revolutionary group's leader as a photographer. She then provided the revolutionary group with detailed floor plans and office locations in preparation for a raid in which they would kidnap and kill their political enemies.

When they raided her house, they found an arsenal, fake police and military uniforms and the detailed plans she had provided.

Twenty years was too short a term for this leftist douchebag.

Personally, I thought she sucked in "Barry Lyndon."
