This short report describes human rights violations committed in Tunisia in the past year in the name of counter-terrorism and security and updates information in Amnesty International’s report, “In the Name of Security: Routine Abuses in Tunisia”, published in June 2008. That report described a pattern of human rights violations including arbitrary arrests, incommunicado detention and enforced disappearances; torture and other ill-treatment; unfair trials, including before military courts; and abuses in prisons as well as abuses against Tunisian nationals forcibly returned from abroad.

I made another table with all the countries and territories mentioned in the English Wikipedia list of countries by population (retrieved September 8th, 2009). I marked as n/a (not applicable) when they are not in the previously displayed “top 40″. Maybe this table (along with many other data) is useful when thinking of the global digital divide. Just look at China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Iran, Congo (DRC), Burma…
