Young American journalist Laurie Berenton has been in Peruvian prison for eight years, convicted of aiding a terrorist organisation. Her parents Mark and Rhoda say she was only writing articles supporting human rights. A decision about her future is soon to be made by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Mark and Rhoda Berenton say the US has upheld the right of Peru to have tough anti-terror laws and has taken little interest in Laurie’s case.
