On 7 April 2009 a three-judge panel convicted Fujimori on charges of human rights abuses , declaring that the " charges against him have been proven beyond all reasonable doubt " . The panel found him guilty of ordering the Grupo Colina death squad to commit the November 1991 Barrios Altos massacre and the July 1992 La Cantuta Massacre , which resulted in the deaths of 25 people , as well as for taking part in the kidnappings of Peruvian opposition journalist Gustavo Gorriti and businessman Samuel Dyer . Fujimori 's conviction is the only instance of a democratically elected head of state being tried and convicted of human rights abuses in his own country . Later on 7 April , the court sentenced Fujimori to 25 years in prison
