Brussels, 11/10/2006 (Agence Europe) - On Tuesday, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network (EMHRN) protested against the Lebanese authorities' ban on Marie Daunay's leaving the country. Ms Daunay is a representative of the SOLIDA (Support for Lebanese Detained Arbitrarily) movement, which, last Thursday, published a report on “human rights violations committed by the army's intelligence services at the Lebanese Ministry of Defence detention centre, which has been used since 1992 as an interrogation and detention centre controlled exclusively by army intelligence services”. The publication of the report has resulted in a series of repressive measures against SOLIDA. Ms Daunay has been invited to Brussels for contact with the European institutions. EMHRN blames the ban imposed on Ms Daunay, preventing her from leaving the country, on the burglary, suffered by the NGO on the eve of publication of the report, in which IT storage equipment was stolen. Given this worrying situation, the organisation has urged the EU to make urgent representations to the Lebanese authorities. (fb)
