- YEMEN: AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL DELEGATE VISITS COUNTRY
-
- An Amnesty International staff member is visiting the Republic of Yemen
- between 6 and 16 December 1992. The primary purpose of the visit is to
- conduct research into Amnesty International's concerns in the country. These
- include the continued detention of prisoners of conscience, and other
- political prisoners; the torture or ill-treatment of detainees; and the
- "disappearances" of individuals while in custody in the former Yemen Arab
- Republic and People's Democratic Arab Republic in previous years. The staff
- member plans to visit the capital city of Sana'a as well as Hudaida, and Aden.
-
- While in Yemen it is envisaged that he will also meet with government
- officials, parliamentarians, lawyers and members of the judiciary.
-
- The Amnesty International delegate will not be authorised to make press
- statements during his visit. He will report back to the organization's
- Secretary General on his return.
