EU regulation does not prevent trade in tools of torture

23/02/2007 – On 26 February 1992, over 18,000 persons were illegally removed from the Slovenian registry of permanent residents. Many of them (latest estimates put the number at around 5,000) remain “erased”. Coming close to the 15th anniversary of that fateful date, Amnesty International is very concerned at the continuing human rights violations suffered by these persons. The unresolved status of these European Union citizens, including the lack of access to full reparation for the abuse of their human rights, violates the very essence of the EU as an “Area of Freedom, Security and Justice”.

The EU must give a stronger human rights message to President Putin, says Amnesty International ahead of the EU-Russia Summit on 24 November. In a new report, released today, (“Torture and forced ‘confessions’ in detention,” available below) Amnesty International documents the extent to which torture is practised in Russian detention centres.

22/11/2006 – Torture in police custody and pre-trial detention is a fact across Russia. The country is failing both its international and national obligations to protect its citizens.
