Man claims he is suffering from mental problems due to years w/o sex

[Champ]

LIMA, Peru (Reuters) - A Peruvian rebel leader told a court on Thursday he was suffering mental problems because of 12 years of no sex and tough jail conditions.

"Since I am subjected to this sexual abstinence ... because of such an unjust and inhuman (prison) regime, I suffer from a certain (mental) imbalance and sometimes I forget things too, I have problems concentrating," Victor Polay, leader of the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, or MRTA, told the judge.

Polay, 53, who is married with three children, has been held in Peru's top security jail on a naval base near Lima since his recapture in 1992 following a sensational escape from another jail through a 1,000-foot (300-meter) tunnel.

The MRTA won worldwide notoriety with a 126-day hostage siege in Lima in 1996-97.

Polay, who has apologized to victims of his group's killings, bombings and kidnappings, is being retried on terrorism charges after Peru's top court threw out the treason charge for which he was jailed for life by a military court.
