| | | | Abimael Guzmán: Encyclopedia II - Japanese embassy hostage crisis - Negotiations On 22 December Fujimori made his first public announcement on the hostage-taking. In a televised four-minute speech he condemned the assailants, calling the MRTA assault "repugnant" and rejecting the terrorists' demands on their totality.
