Brazil's reasons for protecting Mr Battisti are unconvincing. The justice minister, Tarso Genro, referred to his country's tradition of harbouring political exiles, ranging from Alfredo Stroessner（注7）, a particularly nasty ex-dictator (of Paraguay), to Olivério Medina, an ex-guerrilla (in Colombia). Now that democracy is the norm in the Americas, that tradition is anachronistic. Mr Genro also seems to think that Mr Battisti was convicted of political crimes, rather than plain murder.
