As Peruvian authorities detained opposition leader Keiko Fujimori on Tuesday night for a new 15-month jail term, the politician published a pre-recorded video alleging "persecution" and vowing to "end her silence" on the case.
A judge on Tuesday afternoon ordered her detention as prosecutors continue an investigation for alleged money laundering. She had already spent 13 months in jail, but Peru's top constitutional court ordered her release in November. Prosecutors appealed that decision.
In the video, which was published on Facebook and appeared to have been recorded earlier on Tuesday, Fujimori said she would "give a political response to this political persecution."
