Controversial former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori has been buried after three days of national mourning.

Many Peruvians still revere Fujimori for pulling the country out of a severe economic crisis in the 1990s and defeating the Shining Path terrorist group. Others say his authoritarian rule was to blame for clandestine military killings. He spent some 16 years behind bars for human rights abuses.

Nearly two decades before he won the presidency in Peru, Fujimori got a master's degree in mathematics at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Alberto Fujimori, the former Peruvian president whose decade-long presidency ended in a disgrace of autocratic excess that sent him to prison, has died.

Relatives of the victims of army massacres lament that Fujimoro went to his grave without showing remorse for their deaths
