Dear supporter,
Our new edition of WIRE is now available.

In this issue we report on police accountability in Nigeria and the Dominican Republic, refugees and asylum-seekers caught up in Libya’s internal conflict and discrimination against lesbians, gay men and bisexual and transgender people in Turkey.

Follow our campaign actions on ending violence against women and read our interview with human rights defender Pat Bennetts, who talks about her long campaign to end impunity for crimes committed against her brother in Chile in the 1970s.

Take a look, too, at The Agenda – our new section on regional and campaign news.

As always, your action is also needed on our World Wide Appeals

Until next time,
Adi, Editor
