Is there any depths humans won't sink too???
Newsnight (tonight, BBC2, 10:30 if you're in the UK) has this story featured tonight:
Our film tonight comes from Tom Carver who has been investigating a mass sterilisation programme of native peoples in Peru. Peru is preparing to request the extradition of the former president Alberto Fujimori from Japan and opposition MPs are urging that he be charged with genocide.
More than a quarter of a million women were sterilised in painful operations which took place while he was president, according to official records. New evidence suggests many of the women were coerced.
