Relatives of former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori mourn during his burial at the Campo Fe cemetery in Huachipa in eastern Lima on Saturday. The state funeral of Peru&#x27;s divisive ex-president Alberto Fujimori, a major figure in Latin American politics, began Saturday in Lima, capping three days of national mourning. Fujimori was revered by many in Peru for crushing a bloody leftist insurgency and helping shore up the economy while in office from 1990 to 2000. However, others see Fujimori as a power-hungry autocrat after committing  human rights abuses for crushing a brutal insurgency by Shining Path and Tupac Amaru leftist rebels in a conflict that left more than 69,000 people dead and 21,000 missing between 1980 and 2000. In 2009, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison over two massacres of civilians by an army death squad tasked with fighting the Shining Path - one at a house party, the other in a university dormitory. In all 25 people were killed. <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/overseas/12/09/22/5-things-to-know-about-perus-political-instability" id="isPasted">5 things to know about Peru&#x27;s political instability</a> <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/overseas/12/09/22/ousted-peru-president-put-in-provisional-detention" id="isPasted">Ousted Peru president put in provisional detention</a>
