Description

According to Amnesty International: "ARBITRARY ARRESTS AND ILLTREATMENT BY THE MALIAN ARMY A number of people were arrested by the Malian army because of alleged links to Islamist armed groups. On 28 January 2013, the delegation was able to meet three detainees at the Sévaré Gendarmerie Mixed Brigade arrested because they were suspected to be members of the Islamist armed groups. [...] Among the three other detainees interviewed by Amnesty International, one of them, a fortyone year old farmer from Hombouri, said he was arrested on Sunday 20 January at a checkpoint in Fatomia near Sévaré, because he did not have his identity card. He said: “When I arrived at the brigade, I was beaten with a stick and the flat of a knife, I fell unconscious.”" [+]
