On August 24th, 2010, Abu Rahme, who has been detained for more than eight months, was convicted on charges of organizing and participating in illegal demonstrations and inciting protestors to damage the separation barrier, throw stones at Israeli soldiers, and participate in violent protests. |

communiqué de presse La Commission européenne pointe des lacunes dans les normes communes existantes Le rapport de la Commission européenne sur l'application de la directive relative à des normes minimales concernant la procédure d’octroi et de retrait du statut de réfugié indique que les garanties procédurales varient encore considérablement dans l'Union européenne. Par ailleurs, l'imprécision des normes établies par cette directive et les lacunes dans sa mise en œuvre au niveau national peuvent être à l'origine d'erreurs administratives. Le 21 octobre 2009, la Commission a donc adopté une proposition de refonte de la directive afin d'apporter une solution à ce problème. |

Ensure Children Are Protected and Returned Speedily to Their Families(Dakar) - The arrest and conviction of seven Quranic teachers who forced boys trusted to their care to beg is a significant move forward for children's rights in Senegal, Human Rights Watch said yesterday. The men were sentenced on September 8th, 2010, marking the first application of a 2005 law outlawing the practice; two more men are scheduled to face the same charges on September 9th. The authorities should make the children's welfare the top priority as they work to return the boys to their families, Human Rights Watch said. |
