He was also a member of the Asamblea Nacional de Magisterio (ANM), National Teachers' Assembly, and had been involved in the nation-wide teachers' strike which ended on 17 September 1989." Also: "Amnesty International is now gravely concerned for the fate of the five remaining students, all leaders of the AEU, still 'disappeared'" (Ivan Ernesto Gonzalez Fuentes; Carlos Contreras Conde; Hugo Leonel Gramajo; Mario Arturo de Leon Mendez; and Aaron Ubaldo Ochoa).…

Hardcover. First edition. 153 p. Glossary. Map. Illustrations. Footnotes. This report was the title document of Amnesty's 1998-99 Rights for All campaign which reveals a persistent and widespread pattern of human rights violations in the USA. It points to entrenched and nationwide police brutality. It highlights the physical and sexual abuse of prisoners, many of whom are kept under inhuman and degrading conditions. The number of people executed each year is rising relentlessly, and more than 3000 condemned prisoners are on death row. People who have fled to the USA in search of safety are treated as criminals and held behind bars. Racism and discrimination contribute to the denial of the fundamental rights of countless men, women and children. Very good. No dust jacket as issued. …

Trade Paperback n. Condizione: Very Good+. Presumably first edition. 263 p.; ill. Some shelfwear. From the back: Political suspects and other prisoners face torture in police stations, secret detention centres, camps and military barracks in countries throughout the world in the 1980s. "All I can remember is seeing myself dead," recounts one among the thousands of victims — a survivor freed after international appeals demanded his release . From the security headquarters in Spain to the prison cells of Iran, from secret police centres in Chile to the psychiatric hospitals in the Soviet Union, this report confronts allegations of torture and ill-treatment of prisoners in more than 90 countries. It presents detailed evidence drawn from the impartial research of Amnesty International, the independent human rights movement that works for the release of all prisoners of conscience, fair trials for political prisoners and an end to torture and executions. The report, covering a wide range of abuses, cites cases including systematic torture during interrogation — electric shocks, severe beatings and mock executions — harsh prison conditions, the involvement of doctors in the process of torture and punishments such as floggings and amputations decreed by law.Condemning torture under all political systems, the report spells out a global program for its abolition. It examines countries were international and domestic pressures have brought changes and calls on governments to adopt safeguards that would eradicate torture and prevent cruelty to prisoners.Table of Contents:1.
