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.

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.

(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.
