Title:Nigeria: Submission on Nigeria to the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group on the Harare Declaration

Abstract:This submission to the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group on the Harare

Declaration describes Amnesty International's continuing concerns regarding the

human rights situation in Nigeria. These concerns include continued and

long-term detention without charge or trial of political opponents, including

prisoners of conscience, in some cases incommunicado. Others concerns

include detention after unfair trials and torture or ill-treatment, the continued use

of the death penalty and further allegations of extrajudicial execution. Amnesty

International urges the Ministerial Action Group to make public its report about

the human rights situation in Nigeria and believes that the Commonwealth

should set specific goals for the Nigerian government to provide safeguards to

protect human rights and should take effective action to ensure that the Nigerian

Government meets these goals.

Title:Bolivia: Undermining human rights work

Abstract:Waldo Albarracin, a lawyer and President of the Bolivian non-governmental

organization Asamblea Permanente de Derechos Humanos, was abducted on

25 January 1997 in La Paz and badly beaten and detained for several hours by

police. As an outspoken defender of human rights there is concern that he may

continue to be at risk from further attacks. He has since the attack suffered

harassment and threats, and there is concern that no steps appear to have been

taken by the authorities to provide protection to his family or to investigate the

threats. However, Amnesty International does welcome the prompt response by

the authorities in launching an investigation into the police attack and and urges

that those responsible be found and brought to justice.

Title:Guatemala: State of impunity

Abstract:This report details the continuing state of impunity in Guatemala and describes

human rights violations perpetrated since the signing of the Global Human

Rights Accord in March 1994. Such violations include extrajudicial execution,

"disappearance", torture and harassment. It describes a number of individual

cases against a background of armed conflict, political repression, the return of

refugees and internally displaced people, "social cleansing" - the policy of

repression against social "undesirables", and repression in the context of labour

demands and land disputes. It examines the legislative and institutional

protection of citizens in theory and reality and the authorities' apparent lack of

political will to investigate human rights violations. The report also examines

allegations of foreign support for human rights violations and the role of the

international community, particularly the effectiveness of MINUGUA in

guaranteeing protection of human rights. The report concludes with a series of

recommendations to the Guatemalan authorities and the international

community.

Abstract:Li Wenming and Guo Baosheng, two labour rights activists charged with

subversion, are still awaiting sentencing nearly three years after they were

arbitrarily detained in the province of Guangdong. They were tried in November

1996 in Shenzhen. Before his detention in May 1994 Li Wenming worked for the

newspaper "Shenzhen Youth" and was on study leave at Beijing University.

There he met fellow student Guo Baosheng. They were initially held for "shelter

and investigation", a form of administrative detention without charge. In January

1997 Li Wenming was reported to be suffering from nephritis, a kidney disease,

and is reportedly showing symptoms of dropsy and is unable to move without

assistance. Amnesty International is calling for the release of both men as

prisoners of conscience.

(MISA, Movement for the Spiritual Integration in the Absolute), an organization of

people may have been motivated by their membership in MISA and their beliefs

related to the practice of yoga.

Abstract:Roisin McAliskey is being detained without charge, pending extradition to Germany

in connection with an Irish Republican Army mortar attack on a British Army base

in Osnabruck in June 1996. In this report Amnesty International raises its

concerns about certain aspects of her past and current detention conditions.

When arrested she was about four months pregnant and suffering from various

medical ailments. Although her conditions of detention, to a certain extent, have

improved, the treatment to which she has been subjected should be investigated

by the authorities. In addition, Amnesty International is calling on the authorities

to implement a series of measures aimed at ensuring that detention conditions

for women do not amount to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.

Title:Iran: Eight years of death threats: Salman Rushdie

Abstract:On 14 February 1989 Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the then leader of the Islamic

Republic of Iran, issued a fatwa (religious decree) declaring that the British

author, Salman Rushdie, should be executed for having insulted Islam in his

novel "The Satanic Verses". Since then, fearing for his life, the author has been

living under constant police protection. Some of those associated with his work

have been the victims of arbitrary attacks. A Japanese translator, Hitoshi Igarashi

was killed and an Italian translator, Ettore Capriolo, was seriously injured in July

1991 when they were stabbed in their own countries. The Norwegian publisher,

William Nygaard, also survived an attempt on his life in Oslo in 1993. While

Amnesty International is not aware of any direct attempt by agents of the Iranian

Government to kill Salman Rushdie, it is seriously concerned at the continuing

calls for his death by prominent individuals and institutions in Iran, which the

Iranian Government appears unwilling to condemn publicly.

Title:Refugees: Human rights have no borders

Abstract:This report describes the worldwide situation of the more than 15 million people

who are refugees and the further 20 million people who are internally displaced.

It describes some of the reasons behind their flight and the problems they face

later, whether from governments' circumventing international law or their

obstruction and deterrence of asylum-seekers. This report also examines asylum

procedures and international obligations towards asylum-seekers. The report

contains a number of illustrative cases and detailed recommendations to

governments of asylum and the international community at large. Appendices

give the current state of international and regional refugee standards and a brief

description of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and its

Executive Committee (EXCOM).
