Lima, Peru -- Lori Berenson, a U.S. citizen jailed in Peru since 1995 for helping leftist rebels, has been granted conditional release, a judge announced Tuesday.
Berenson has served nearly 15 years of a 20-year sentence for aiding Peruvian rebels in a 1995 plot to overthrow Peru's congress.
Judge Jessica Leon Yarango made the announcement in a televised court hearing after Berenson's lawyer made the request, but did not specify when she would be released.
Berenson, 40, who last year gave birth in prison to a son, Salvador, has long maintained her innocence. Her original sentence of life in prison was reduced to 20 years on appeal.

WHO got her PREGNANT??
Oh, wonderful. Now we’ll have yet another leftist revolutionary celebrity parading around the US and mouthing off at every opportunity.
Maybe she can co-host “The View”, or sit in for Rachel Maddow. Or teach Revolutionary Politics 101 at Columbia. Or all of the above.
Their prisons aren’t like ours. The last prison she was in was like a high mountain camp where everyone was living like in a village.
Now is that kid a U.S. citizen ?
Oh, and her attorney who was a member of the Tupac Amaru is her husband and father of her child. He said she cannot be deported and she is planning on opening a bakery.
Whack.
“....WHO got her PREGNANT??....”
Salvadore’s daddy, of course...
Good. She's staying there.
IIRC it was one of the rebel’s that got her pregnant...
“...long maintained her innocence.”
Yeah, I remember that. Lefty gringo beyotch came down from New York to help with “the struggle” but didn’t realize she was sharing a house with a bunch of Maoist guerillas and a weapons cache.
Hopefully 15 years in prison and a child will have calmed her down, but I doubt it.
“LEFTIST REBELS?!?”
It was the freaking Shining Path Maoist Communists, who butchered thousands of Peruvian peasants with the viciousness of Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge!
When the Shining Path Maoist Communists took over the Japanese embassy, and offered to slit the throats of everyone inside, President Fujimori sent in a special police unit that sent every one of the evil bastards straight to Hell.
Lori Berensen was arrested in a Shining Path Maoist Communist safe house in Lima. The place was full of guns and explosives, and plans to conduct a horrific terrorist campaign against innocent people.
Don’t for an instant let the left or the MSM pretend that the Shining Path Maoist Communists were anything better, or deserved to live any more than Nazi concentration camp guards, cannibal serial killers, Thuggee stranglers, or any other of the human monsters who have done their part to redefine the word “evil” throughout human history.
“...Our position is very clear. We reject and condemn human rights because they are bourgeois, reactionary, counterrevolutionary rights, and are today a weapon of revisionists and imperialists, principally Yankee imperialists.”
– Communist Party of Peru, Sobre las Dos Colinas
She is yet another string of leftist freaks. She is a subhuman who by even having an offspring is committing child abuse.
You can tell by the smirk on her face that she hasn’t learned a thing and has not changed her views at all. She is certainly the poster child for idiot liberals and I wish that they had locked her up forever (or at least suffered the same fate as that bulldozer girl from evergreen in Israel). Of course once she gets back here to the US she’ll be an instant celebrity most likely with a sweetheart book deal, speaking engagements, probably used as an expert on all the MSM shows for immigrant rights, maybe even a professorship at an ivy league school.
My wifr is from Peru and lived through those times. Blackouts, bombs in Mira Flores, shortages, 11 explosions in one night.
These people are reviled by the average people of Peru. Hang her.
The silver lining is that her mother will presumably stop teaching physics at various NYC area colleges, and thus stop inflicting herself on hapless students. My understanding is that she unretired and went back to teaching in order to fund the efforts to get her stupid criminal daughter out of Peruvian prison. According to someone who endured one her courses, she was obviously angry, miserable, and didn’t want to be teaching physics.
Amazing how the stupidity of one communist crackpot can reverberate and end up causing misery for so many people who had nothing whatsoever to do with her or her “cause”.
I think it was somebody that was brought into prison specifically to get her pregnant.
IIRC, that offered leniency or clemency for pregnant women, and she was banking on that.

I knew it was something unsavory. Either way, ICK! (How much do you want to bet the lefty book publishers will be lining up to get her to tell 'her story'. Disgusting!)
She should have been executed
