Peru’s Carlin Faces Potential Jail Time

A bit of news-gathering and caveat-making at the Forbidden Planet International blog indicates that Peruvian cartoonist Carlos "Carlin" Tovar faces a fine and a potential two years in jail from coverage of a 2005 incident concerning Peruvian Interior Department official Gladys Barboza Pena and I believe her having her visa denied by the US. Like FPI, I find it almost impossible to track a news story in Spanish, so I'm not sure about the status of the fine relative to the status of the sentence, or, really, what the heck is going on. This seems on the surface of it quite horrible, though.
