U.N. Torture Investigator Arrives in China
AP via YahooNews.com, 22/11/2005
The U.N. Human Rights Commission's special investigator Manfred Nowak has arrived in China to investigate the country's human rights situation. The inspection, the first one since about a decade ago, has been deferred for more than a year, because Chinese authorities and the U.N. delegate could not agree on arrangements such as whether unannounced visits to prisons should be allowed.
