The arrest of the former President of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed, is an example of selective justice from the authorities, Amnesty International says.

Amnesty International has warned that the government is “just not listening” to widespread criticism of its proposed secret justice measures.

Media reports of South African police tying a Mozambican man to the back of a police vehicle and dragging him down the road are “shocking”, says Amnesty International.

Amnesty has criticised the Egyptian authorities intention to prohibit Egyptian NGOs’ contact with foreign organisations without permission from security bodies.
