V. Children in bondage

Some 1,000 unaccompanied migrant children who have entered Greece in 2008 without parents or caregivers struggle to survive without any state assistance, Human Rights Watch said in a new report issued today. Although a member of the European Union, Greece flouts its most basic obligations when it comes to meeting the rights of these children, many of whom come from war-torn countries, including Afghanistan, Somalia, and Iraq, with special protection needs. This 111-page report documents the plight of the majority of unaccompanied children who have entered Greece and end up in a daily fight for survival.

Police and protestors clashed in Armenia's capital, Yerevan, on March 1, 2008, bringing to a head the country's latest electoral dispute--over the results of a presidential poll in February 2008. On that day, in episodes at different city center locations, police variously set upon protestors without warning or resistance, negotiated, withdrew, returned to the offensive, and finally fought a pitched battle with a small group of protestors. At least ten people died--eight protestors and two police officers--and scores were injured ... The Armenian authorities' response to the March 1 events has been one-sided. While they have convicted dozens of opposition members, sometimes in flawed and politically motivated trials, for organizing the demonstration and participating in violent disorder, they have not prosecuted any law enforcement official for excessive use of force. The authorities have also dismissed as unfounded all allegations of ill-treatment and torture in detention"--Cover, p. [4].
