Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd first like to thank the three witnesses at the meeting this evening.
I thank you for making time to meet with us. I also thank you for all the work you are doing.
I completely understand that unemployment, poverty and misery lead to revolt. Demonstrations against hunger are taking place and demonstrators are being repressed by the police. So police brutality, beatings and injuries are happening. The police brutality aside, I'd like to know the extent of the human rights violations we're talking about here.
Are there arbitrary detentions, prolonged detentions without charges, or cases of torture?
How does the justice system in general work? Again, are there any significant problems there as well?
I imagine that issues do exist, but I'd like to hear about it from either of you. I think that would be useful.
