Detainees tortured and denied medical care
Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:59:00 +0100 | MSF News
Detainees in the Libyan city of Misrata are being tortured and denied urgent medical care, leading Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to suspend its operations in detention centres in Misrata, MSF said today. MSF teams began working in Misrata’s detention centres in August, 2011, to treat war-wounded detainees. Since then, MSF doctors were increasingly confronted with patients who suffered injuries caused by torture during interrogation sessions. The interrogations were held outside the detention centres. In total, MSF treated 115 people who had torture-related wounds and reported all the cases to the relevant authorities in Misrata. Since January, several of the patients returned to interrogation centres have even been tortured again. Libya © Benoît Finck/MSF MSF staff during physio...

2011: the year in review
Fri, 30 Dec 2011 22:59:00 +0100 | Guardian Unlimited Science
Police stood by as Britain rioted, popular protests changed the face of the Middle East, European governments fell apart – and so did Fleet Street's reputation. 2011 has been an extraordinary yearIt wasn't the sight of a double-decker bus ablaze on Tottenham High Road that stunned Britain as it awoke one morning in August. It wasn't even the historic building smouldering in ruins, or the trail of burnt-out police cars. What chilled the country turning on the news that summer Sunday was footage of a young woman calmly trying on trainers before looting them while police stood by helplessly and watched.As night fell, violence spread across the capital as mobs of masked youths hurled missiles at riot police and ransacked shops, making off with trolley-loads of TVs, clothes, jewellery, grocer...
