A three-member delegation of the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention concluded a 10-day visit to the island nation today.
They told reporters that individuals are being deprived of their rights in a range of facilities such as police stations, prisons, open work camps, centers for juveniles, mental health institutions and rehabilitation camps for former combatants and drug addicts.
They said detainees in general do not enjoy basic guarantees of due process such as immediate access to legal counsel.
