Castlegar will join with more than 77 Canadian groups,
comprising some 1,200 members, and with Amnesty’s

Prisoners have been tortured or cruelly treated in at
least one out of every three countries within the last four
years, according to a major new report published by
Amnesty International today.

The report, Torture in the Eighties, marks the start of a
long-term campaign by the worldwide human rights move-
ment to expose and end the use of “torture as a tool of state
policy.”

It cites allegations of torture of ill-treatment of
prisonérs in nearly 100 countries; but Amnesty Inter-
national emphasized that government secrecy and intimi-
dation surrounding such abuses often made corroboration of
torture claims difficult.

It said it was overwhelmingly likely that many other
cases had not yet come to light. Cover-ups and censorship
made a full survey impossible, it said.

The report discloses that, since 1980, Amnesty Inter-
national has acted on 2,687 cases in 45 countries — not
including appeals for many people seized in mass arrests —
and has learned of abuses in dozens of other countries. But
the organization is not issuing any “blacklist” of countries;
this would be incomplete and open to political misuse, it said.

The cruelty ig often systematically applied, the report
says, as part of “stat inery to supp! dis-
sent.”

Men and women of all social classes, ages, trades and

jessions are. victims, the 263-page report says. Children
were tortured in El Salvador and infants fore watch
their mothers being tortured in Itan, according to Amnesty
International's information.

Most of the torture documented is aimed at intimi-
dation, puni: or i i from political
prisoners.

Methods range from beatings and whippings to such
specialized techniques as the Syrian “black slave,” an elec-
trical apparatus that inserts a heated metal skewer into the
victim's anus.

Some methods, such as the pain-causing drugs forcibly
given to some political prisoners in the Soviet Union or the
use in a number of countries of electrodes on sensitive parts
of the body, make veri! ion of torture or ill
especially difficult, the report says.

The evidence documented comes from victims, wit-
nesses, medical examinations, court records and former
security agents who took part in torture sessions.

The report includes case studies of situations in which
public pressure, supported by international opinion, has
helped to limit or halt torture.

It outlines a practical 12-point program that govern-
ments can use to prevent torture. The study points out that
torture most often occurs during a prisoner's first days in
custody when visits by family or lawyers are banned — often
under laws giving the authorites wide-ranging powers to
deal with emergencies.

It says that when statements extracted under torture
are accepted by judges as evidence and no official inquiries
are made into torture complaints, a clear signal has been
given to security forces that torture is tolerated.

the enjoyment of all involved.
Opening ceremonies began
with boys starting in. their

Guindon, then gave a talk on
fire regulations and safety in
the hall.

At 6:15 the boys played
two active games which
helped burn off energy. One
was “lame goose,” the other
“cat and mouse.”

At the same time a few
leaders were in the kitchen
preparing the playdough for
craft time. From 6:30 - 7 p.m.
the boys received two dif-
ferent colors to make an
animal of their choice.

At 7 p.m. they cleaned up
and settled down to popcorn
and a movie. After the movie
the boys enjoyed mug-up and

bound as they waited to see
what would happen next. At
bedtime at 9 p.m, the boys
were already looking forward
to the next day's events.

Next morning, after wash-
ing and picking up gear, all
the leaders and boys went up
to Kinnaird Elementary
School for exercises. The
weather was nice and sunny.
At this time, parents were
arriving to help with making
a pancake breakfast.

After closing ceremonies
the dismissal was very organ-
ized and went well.

At the same time, Ist
Kinnaird Cubs, Scouts and
Beavers held a bottle and
newspaper drive which turn-
ed out a success.

Thanks went to all the
leaders who helped: Carol
Montgomery, Nancy Dep-
tuck, Gaye Colman, Nancy
Sereras, Gary Shannon,
Kathy Armstrong, Bonnie
Cundy, Lu Anne Bush and
Karen Stevenson; also to the
parents: Diane Molitwenik,
Bob Deptuck, Jan Newman,
Terry Messanger, Dominic
Kelly and Jan Hardy.
