 Human
rights group issues new appeal over detained former Toronto resident
April 18, 2007
Amnesty International has sent out another urgent appeal over the
incommunicado detention and possible torture and ill treatment of
Bashir Makhtal, a Canadian citizen and former Toronto resident who
was deported from Kenya to Somalia and Ethiopia without being
charged in January.
Makhtal's name topped the list of nine foreign nationals who are
being held in detention in at least three locations in Ethiopia.
Amnesty International said in its appeal it believes up to 75 other
men, women and children of various nationalities have been detained
there.
The human rights organization is asking people to write, email or
fax Ethiopia's prime minister, foreign affairs minister or justice
minister.
