REVUE DE PRESSE-PRESS REVIEW-BERHEVOKA ÇAPÊ-RlVISTA STAMPA-DENTRO DE LA PRENSA-BASIN ÖZETi Amnesty: Children targeted for terror 'Incredible as it sounds, children are still suffering every /dnd of human rights abuse' By State agents Turki.çh Daily News ANKARA- Four years after the United Nations drew up the Convention of the Rights of the Child, children are still being targeted for terrifvin!.! human rights violations, Amnesty International said in a r~port released this month. And though the Convention has met with à positive response from oovernments around the world -- ~o f~wer than 149 countries are party ta il and 20 more have signed -- some of those very same !wvernments are still violating the rnost basic human rights of their children. "Incredible as it sounds, dren are still suffering every chil- kind of human rights abuse," said the international human rights organization. "Youth offers no protection from the death squads, the state rapists and assassins, the torturers or the executioners. "Last year. we had to call on our members around the world more than 50 times to take urgent action young on behalf of children or people we knew to be at nsk -- at risk from the state forces which should have been there to protectthem." China is a signatory to the U.N. Convention on the Riohts of the Child -- but that didn't protect 16-year-old Tenzin Dekyong, a novice nun in Tibet. She was arrested while she was in March 1993, demonstrating against Chinese rule, and report':. edly beaten. She is still in pnson, and Amnesty siders her a International prisoner of con- conscience. In other cases, children are forced to go against their parents, to make them confess or perhaps to stop opposing the government. In other cases, children are sinoled out because they are seen as ~ threat in themselves, sometimes just bybelonging to the wrong ethnic groups or living in the wrong place. And sometimes, children are slaughtered simply because nuisance they are thought to be a -- a tragedy seen again and again amid the children living in the streets of Brazil and Colombia, for example. In Bogota in Colombia last summer, notices appeared all over the city centre inviting street children and other "criminals" to their own funerals. Dozens appeared overnight -- and tfieir grim message was by no means an empty threat. "Death squads" are operating in Colombia, their mission being to rid the streets of the "socially undesirable" homeless children -- what is more. there is evidence that these "death squads" are predominantly made up of members of the police force. Street children often turn to petty crime in order to survive, so local businesses view them as a liability. Businessmen support the "death squads" in their so-called cleanup operations -- often a euphemism for massacres. In 199 I alone, some 2,800 children were murdered in Colombia. And appalling as this is, it is far from unusual. Amnesty International is currently in the middle of a major international campaign against political killings and "diSappearances" around the world, in which children, tragically, are often the victims. Among the cases highlighted is that of "Mirsada", a teenage Muslim girl in Bosnia- Herzegovina, who was detained with her sister and others, taken by Serbian forces and held at a notorious former hotel, where they were raped. The othergirls were released -- "Mirsada" was never se,en again. And whilé in some countries, children are .killed by state secu0- ty forces acting outside the law, In - a handful of countries, human rights violations against children are part of the legal system. For example in countnes such as Iraq, Bangladesh, Pakistan and the United States, juvenile offenders can be sentenced to death. In the United States, for example, teenagers are still sentenced to death for crimes they committed when they werelerhaps as young as 15 years 01 . Last year alone, four juvenile offenderswere executed in the United States, more than in any other country known to Amnesty International. Two states, Georgia and Massive hunger strikes continue in Turkish prisons 600 inmates enter 40th consecutive day of strike Turkish Daily News • . ANKARA- - A wave of hunger strikes staged byextrerrnst .10- mates at several Turkish prisons has entered Its 40th FOnsecutIv.e daytoday. Meanwhile, relatives of the inmates have en~red their 7th day of their supporting fast. . . ,'" Human rights Circles told the Turkish Daily News on Tuesday that the prisoners on hunger strike were mainly from th,e outlawed Revolutionary Left (De.v-Sol), TurkIsh Re~ol~tlon!uy Communist Party (TDKP), Turkish Peasants-Workers LiberatIon Army (TIK~O). and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) organIzatIOns. . The hunaer strikes are continuing at the Sagmacllar, Kaysen, Yozgat, Ça~, Nev~ehir, Erzurum an~ Ankara prisons. Tbe inmates are said to be demanding that male and ~emale prisoners, who are in prison on similar charges, gain the nght to meet with each other at least once a week. Other demands include the abolition of disciplinary measures against hunger strikers. and t~e right of inmates on .medical diets to be permitted to proVIde th.elf own food from outsld~ ..

"S~lve tbe problems before there are any new deaths," Öndül said. Justice !\1inistry officials refused to ,reply to 1DN questions on the issue, but there were new claims on Tuesday that or~ers being issued by the ministry were not being followed by pnson authorities.
