LIMA, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) -- Peru's President Alan Garcia on Monday promised that Peru would follow the law and maintain the separation of state powers in the prosecution of ex-president Alberto Fujimori.

    "There will be neither hatred, brutality nor vengeance," Garcia said in his first public statement on the case.

    "We promise the calm fulfillment of the law and the absolute independence of powers of state in the Fujimori case. He is being treated with respect," he said.

    Fujimori arrived in Lima from Chilean capital Santiago on Saturday, after judges there agreed to extradite him on two counts of human rights violations and five of corruption charges.

    Garcia said that Fujimori had no bars on his cell and had not been made to wear a prison uniform or handcuffs.

    "I am sure that the judges will rule correctly after evaluating the evidence without succumbing to pressure of those who are in favor or against Fujimori," he said.

    "We have fulfilled our legal and constitutional duty and the result has proved that we are in the right. There is no need to politicize a matter which we were sure would lead to his extradition," Garcia added.

    Garcia, Peru's president from 1985 to 1990, took refuge in the Colombian embassy in 1992, accusing Fujimori, president from 1990 to 2000, of sentencing him to death as part of a political vendetta.

    Garcia returned to Peru after the 2000 collapse of Fujimori's government amid a corruption scandal, and became president in 2006.

    Meanwhile, Gustavo Carrion, head of Peru's National Penitentiary Agency(Inpe), said Monday that Fujimori had been given special treatment to safeguard his health and security.

    Special treatment "begins with the fact that he is not going toa public jail, because we all know that in those jails there is noticeable backwardness in guaranteeing security," Carrion told a domestic radio station.

    "Because he has food sensitivities and in order to look after his health, we have agreed with his family that they should bring in his food," said Carrion.

    Fujimori's daughter Keiko Fujimori, however, described her father's treatment as terrible, adding "there is a deal of hypocrisy on the government's part."

    Fujimori was barred from spending any time outside his cell, unlike all of the prisoners in all the world, according to Keiko.
