INFORME ESPECIAL SOBRE LA SITUACIÓN DE LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS EN LA CÁRCEL DE CHALLAPALCA, DEPARTAMENTO DE TACNA, REPUBLICA DEL PERÚ
La clínica de derechos humanos de la Universidad de Georgetown ha preparado un informe sobre
LAS OBLIGACIONES INTERNACIONALES DE CHILE
EN EL CASO DE ALBERTO FUJIMORI
(CAUSA NO. 5646 – 2005)
ARTICLE19 appeals for an environment of open dialogue around Nigeria's 2007 elections
ARTICLE19 urgently appeals for an environment of open dialogue around the elections in Nigeria. A paper released by the human rights organization today notes with serious concern an environment of fear and intimidation that may serve to limit freedom of expression ahead of the 2007 election.
“This should be a time for journalists, news producers and candidates for office in Nigeria to raise the level of public debate about issues at stake in the elections,” says John Barker, the Africa Programme Director. “Instead, what we’re getting are raids on news organizations and their staff, as well of report of gross violence against journalists and activists. These types of human right violations do not lend credibility to the election process,” added Barker.
The 2007 Elections marks the third transfer of power in Nigeria’s nascent democracy. It is important to uphold and integrate human rights standards early on in the process. Nigeria is looked upon in Africa as a regional power and Nigeria needs to “set an example of non-violent transfer of power to promote stability in the West Africa region.”
ARTICLE19 urges the government of Nigeria to guarantee a safe and non-violent environment for news media personnel, journalists and political activists during the election period. “The relevant authorities must act to safeguard the safety of all Nigerians especially human rights defenders.”

ARTICLE 19 is an independent human rights organisation that works around the world to protect and promote the right to freedom of expression. It takes its name from Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which guarantees free speech.
