The report includes detailed testimony from four former prisoners, although their names were withheld because they fear reprisals against relatives living in Iran. VIEWS DIFFER The report said many people were arrested, imprisoned i and executed simply for being suspected of belonging to opposition groups or holding certain political views. Other victims belong to ethnic minorities or banned religions, such as the Baha'i faith.

In some cases the hands or feet of habitual thieves have been amputated. Amnesty International also called for an end to arbitrary arrests and unfair trials of political prisoners. It said most trials are held in secret and last only a few minutes. The accused often are not told the charges against them until they appear in court, where they have no lawyer and no opportunity to present a defence, the report said, adding that in some cases the verdict is kept secret and there is no right of appeal.

Mayor Audrey Moore Presents each of the eight Miss Castlegor candidates = with city pins Tuesday night after candidates wer formally introduced to council. —LorNewsPhote Abortion By CasNews Staff Castlegar’s first right to life prayer vigil Sunday at- tracted about 35 people. The participants, who stood quietly outside the Castlegar and District Hos- pital, were there “on behalf of all the pre-born children who will never know a mother, who will never see light at all.” C.June Lepsoe, a spokes- man for the group, said a right to life vigil will be held every year in Castlegar on Mother's Day. “Aborted children number 65,000 each year in Canada, of whibh-only three per cent are actually therapeutic abor- tions, that is done for reasons of danger to the mother's life or due to rape or incest,” said Lepsoe. She also said that B.C. has the highest abortion rate in Canada and that last year 26.1 abortions were perform- ed for every 100 live birth. “Not only that, but one out of every four women having a government-funded abortion in B.C. is there for the second time,” said Lepsoe. She added that public pressure has forced both the Trail and Nelson hospitals to reduce the number of abor- tion operations, but that the Castlegar and District Hos- pital has increased the num ber of abortions it performs. “Last year, of 45 abortions performed here, many were from outside the area, name- ly Nelson and Trail,” said Lepsoe. “These statistics were given and several passages vigil held read from the Bible, a show- ing that God plans for, sees and loves each unborn child's life. Several people prayed spontaneously for the issues focusing on the hospital per- sonnel, the women seeking abortions and those choosing to carry their babies to term,” said Lepsoe. Thsoe who attended th- vigil were encouraged to continue showing their con- cern for the unborn by be- coming members of the Castlegar hospital society and by choosing pro-life can- didates. A national vigil at all Canadian hospitals where abortions are performed is set for tomorrow.

Police ‘followed the girl® whose name cannot be pub- lished because she is a juven- ile, to a room in San Fran- cisco's plush St. Francis hotel where they found her throw- ing a party for her friends and billing it to someone else. Police broke up the party, arrested her andseized 27 stolen credit cards. The sus- pect said she bought the credit cards for about $50 each. The well-dressed blonde rented the luxury BMW from arental agency at Vancouver International Airport on a phony card and racked up a $2,000 bill entertaining her new U.S. friends. She is being held by U.S. juvenile authorities on char- ges of grand theft, forgery and receiving stolen prop- erty. She also faces charges in Canada. NOT HIDE | THESMELL Because the hunan nose can detect the gas levels in the range of five to 10 parts per billion, it is almost for current tech: zy to elimi: the smell completely. Rick Wilson, director of air management in the ministry's Waste Management Branch. “We are foctissing at present on Prince George, which is one of the top three priorities in the air program. Special: studies are being carried out there in collaboration with the industry,” SOLUTION BURNED A chemical solution ‘known ‘as black liqdor is produced in the pulping process. The solution is burned to recover its chemicals and other byproducts and this is where the smell begins. The gases are generated in recovery boilers as a result of incomplete combustion. Much of the industry's capital spending to reduce odor and particulate emissions in the plume that soars above pulp mills is directed at making the recovery boilers more efficient. Near Nanaii on Vi Island, Mi: Bloedel Ltd. is spending $31 million on converting two black liquor recovery boilers to low-odor configuration by burning heavier black liquor, said Murray Duncanson, engineering superintendent. The province's largest forest company is also working on improving the removal of solid wastes from the gases. “The work will be completed in 1988 and it will also have a good energy-saving payback for us,” said Duncanson. Canfor Corp.'s pulp mill at Port Mellon on Howe Sound has been the subject of complaints from West Vancouver residents but mill manager Harry Cargo says the company is making good progress in reducing the level of gas emissions. EXCEED PERMIT Sausage or Beef, Beef & ae Fresh from In-Store Bake Shop .. Canfor has spent $8 million since 1977 on air-emission control improvements and a $2-million program now under way will essentially eliminate the short-term peak concentrations of sulphur gas that have sometimes caused, the mill to exceed its permitted discharges, he said. Pulp mills are issued provincial waste management permits. Each permit is specific to a mill, reflecting its design and setting out a staged process for pollution control improvements. “Another source of odor is non-condensable gases which are collected and incinerated in all pulp mills,” Cargo said. “Our NCGs are incinerated in one of the kilns at the mill and we plan to install a back-up incinerator system to ensure that gases are not vented when the kiln is out of operation.” Many of B.C.’s pulp mills have installed a device known as the Blox sensor which measures the oxidation in the kraft pulping process and regulates the air flowing into the blackliquor. It is also used in Eastern Canada, the United States and in New Zealand. The $11,000 device was developed by the Pulp and ie
