The news that "Baby Doc" Duvalier is likely to be prosecuted for alleged corruption will give some succour to his many critics who feared he might never face justice. But any joy will be overshadowed by the recommendation that he be spared prosecution for the many atrocities committed during his rule. Human rights groups argue that under international law there can be no statute of limitations for crimes against humanity. Mr Duvalier's lawyers have already said they'll appeal against any decision to put him on trial.
“医生宝贝”杜瓦利埃可能要被以腐败罪起诉的消息传来,给那些担心永远无法制裁他的人一些安慰。但欣喜之余,令人郁闷的是,法官建议对他执政期间犯下的诸多暴行既往不咎。人权组织称,根据国际法,不存在对侵犯人权罪法令的限制。杜瓦利埃的律师已表示,他们将对任何审判杜瓦利埃的决定进行上诉。
The campaign organisation Human Rights Watch says 35 Ethiopian Christians are facing deportation from Saudi Arabia after police arrested them for "illicit mingling" of the sexes at a private prayer gathering before Christmas. Human Rights Watch said 29 of the Christians were women who, according to three of them, were subjected to arbitrary body cavity searches while in prison.
