Extractions: 16 APRIL 1997 The Government of Mauritania should do more than host the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, it should comply with its obligations under the African Charter, Amnesty International said today, as the African Commission meets this week in Nouakchott for its 21st Ordinary Session. the organization said. The human rights situation has in fact deteriorated over the past three months as the authorities have increasingly sought to silence opposition to its policies by detaining government critics for short periods. Amnesty International said. In both cases, those arrested were publicly accused of causing public disorder (troubles de l'ordre public). However none are known to have been charged with any offence; instead they were reportedly banished from the capital and taken back to their home villages where they have to report to the police station on a daily basis. Lawyers have reportedly been informed that they cannot appeal on behalf of their clients because they have not been formally charged. Amnesty International considers that this practice amounts to a form of administrative detention and believes that the absence of all judicial process in these cases is a strong indication that they are probably prisoners of conscience who have been arbitrarily detained to prevent them from conducting their non-violent political activities.

Extractions: "Hosting this meeting is nothing but an illusion that human rights is firmly on the Mauritanian Government´s own agenda," the organization said. "The human rights situation has in fact deteriorated over the past three months as the authorities have increasingly sought to silence opposition to its policies by detaining government critics for short periods." Even the formal opening of the Commission´s session by the Prime Minister of Mauritania yesterday was marred by the heavy presence of soldiers who were trying to prevent local human rights organizations from participating in the public opening session. The human rights organizations were allowed in only after persistent protest from Amnesty International and other international human rights activists. Since the beginning of the year at least 27 and possibly as many as 40 government critics have been arrested in connection with their political activities and detained for short periods mostly outside the judicial process. Only six of them were eventually charged and brought to trial. All the others were released without charge after being detained incommunicado for periods ranging from 24 hours to 27 days.
