Whereas the Department of State’s Peru Country Report on
Human Rights Practices for 1997 states that Channel 2
television station reporters in Peru ‘‘revealed torture by
Army Intelligence Service officers; the systematic wire-

Montesinos, President Fujimori’s senior intelligence ad-

Whereas on July 13, 1997, Peruvian immigration authorities
revoked the Peruvian citizenship of the Israeli-born owner
of the Channel 2 television station, Baruch Ivcher;
Whereas Baruch Ivcher subsequently lost control of Channel
2 under an interpretation of a law that provides that a
foreigner may not own a media organization, leading the
State Department’s Report on Human Rights Practices
to conclude that ‘‘the Government’s action in this case
was widely interpreted as an attempt to prevent the sta-
tion from broadcasting any more negative stories about
the regime’’;
Whereas the Peruvian Government empaneled a special court

(2) the United States should seek an independ-
