- ALGERIA: AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL VISITS ALGERIA
-
- An Amnesty International delegation is visiting Algeria in December 1992. The
- purpose of the visit is to carry out research into Amnesty International's
- human rights concerns in Algeria and to hold discussions with members of the
- Algerian Government.
-
- Amnesty International's concerns in Algeria include the administrative
- detention, without charge or trial, of over 1,000 detainees; irregularities in
- some trial procedures and the lack of investigation and public reporting in
- cases of use of firearms leading to deaths by law enforcement officials.
- Amnesty International is also concerned about abuses by armed opposition
- groups including deliberate and arbitrary killings.
