Lori Berenson Allowed Visits With Husband
LIMA, Peru - A convicted Peruvian terrorist who last year married Lori Berenson (news - web sites), an American serving a 20-year sentence for aiding leftist rebels, has been granted conjugal visiting rights at her Andean prison, he said Thursday.
"They gave me permission in late October to visit her two times a month," Anibal Apari told The Associated Press by cell phone from the Andean city of Cajamarca, 350 miles north of Lima, where Berenson is being held.
Apari dismissed a report in the tabloid newspaper Correo on Thursday that Berenson is trying to become pregnant. "We still haven't talked about that," he said, adding that the use of birth control is required by prison authorities.
Apari was released from prison in June after serving 12 1/2 years of a 15-year sentence. The terms of his parole initially prohibited him from leaving Lima, and his father had to stand in for him at the Oct. 2 prison wedding.
