Do not believe it.
I hope, though, that they do not pull anything like the ugly spectacle of PR campaign that parents of Lori Berenson(accomplice to bombing plot by communist guerrilla Tupac Amaru) pulled years ago before her final conviction. Whirlwind interviews and tours around Peru were prominently featured in morning news shows such as "Good Morning America," and "Today," IIRC. That was despicable.
