Venezuelan opposition leader in Peru after hiding

LIMA, April 21 (Reuters) - Venezuelan opposition leader Manuel Rosales has arrived in Peru on a tourist visa, the foreign minister told CNN Tuesday.

Rosales' Un Nuevo Tiempo party had said on Monday that Rosales would seek foreign asylum.

Peruvian Foreign Minister Jose Antonio Garcia said Rosales had arrived in Peru but had not yet asked for asylum.

Rosales had recently been in hiding in Venezuela and refused to turn himself in on corruption charges that were filed against him. (Reporting by Marco Aquino in Lima and Brian Ellsworth in Caracas; writing by Terry Wade)
