Filo spinato di un centro di detenzione
29.09.2005 Medici Senza Frontiere (MSF) denuncia, in un rapporto pubblicato oggi, l'escalation di violenza nell'applicare le misure per il controllo dell'immigrazione che accompagna l'aumento del fenomeno migratorio al confine tra Marocco e Spagna. Dal 2003 MSF lavora in Marocco a un progetto sull'immigrazione. Dopo 27 mesi di attivitą, grazie alla raccolta di dettagliati dati medici e testimonianze, l'organizzazione constata che circa il 25% delle visite effettuate tra aprile 2003 e agosto 2005 non sono legate a patologie correlabili alle condizioni di vita precarie in cui vivono gli stranieri, ma ad atti di violenza diretta o indiretta. Su un numero totale di 10.232 consultazioni mediche, 2.544 sono infatti dovute ad episodi di violenza. Secondo le dichiarazioni degli stranieri visitati da MSF, il 44% dei casi di violenza č imputabile alle forze di polizia marocchine e ben il 18% alle forze dell'ordine spagnole.

Manifestazione contro la tortura - da AI
27.09.2005 "Le forze dell’ordine ucraine usano regolarmente la forza e spesso ricorrono alla tortura per estorcere confessioni e testimonianze ai detenuti" - denuncia un rapporto di Amnesty International, diffuso oggi, che descrive l’impunitą di cui beneficiano gli agenti di polizia responsabili di maltrattamenti e torture. Le autoritą ucraine ammettono che la polizia abusa dei propri poteri per chiudere il maggior numero possibile di casi, con qualsiasi mezzo. L’operato della polizia č alimentato anche da un alto livello di corruzione: č noto che gli agenti di polizia picchino i detenuti per estorcere loro denaro. Intanto la procura militare di Mosca ha revocato il mandato di cattura che aveva emesso nei confronti di Yulia Tymoshenko, protagonista della "rivoluzione arancione" in Ucraina e primo ministro fino all'inizio di settembre. L'ex premier, licenziata insieme a tutto l'esecutivo dal presidente Viktor Yuschenko, ha fornito agli inquirenti le prove che cercavano in occasione di una deposizione a Mosca.

26.09.2005 Human security is commonly understood as prioritising the security of people, especially their welfare, safety and well-being, rather than that of states. Instead of examining human security as a measurable or specific condition, however, the focus in this paper is how human security as a technology of governance facilitates the way that populations living within the territories of ineffective states are understood, differentiated and acted upon by aid institutions emanating from effective ones.
