High desertion rates, widespread corruption, drug use and illiteracy are among the problems plaguing Afghanistan's army and police, despite billions of dollars and thousands of trainers that NATO is pouring into raising standards. The new allegations of mistreatment come in a UN report, which names several detention centres around the country. It has not yet been released to the public but the findings have been shared with some Afghan and NATO officials. "We have stopped the transfer of detainees to certain installations, as a precautionary measure," ISAF spokesman General Carsten Jacobson told a news conference in Kabul yesterday. We are aware that a UN report will come out and we will look into that report. We have not stopped the overall transfer of detainees, but to certain installations only." Prisoner transfers in parts of NATO's southern regional command-particularly the Taleban heartland, Kandahar-had already been stopped in July. But the latest decision, made just "a few days" ago, added at least another 8 facilities to the list. Run by police and intelligence services, they are scattered across the country including western Herat, eastern Khost and Kapisa and northern Kunduz and Takhar provinces, and include Afghanistan's main counter-terrorism centre. The shut-down comes as the Afghan government prepares to announce the areas chosen for a second swathe of security transfers from the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) to the Afghan army and police. The whole country is set to be under the control of the nation al forces by 2014, with foreign combat troops back home. Not a government policy The UN report is expected to be released within a few days, but a spokesman said the Afghan government was already looking into ways to improve conditions, and the mistreatment did not appear to be sanctioned by top levels of government. "We understand that they are taking the findings extremely seriously and are proposing a series of remedial actions," said UN spokesman Dan McNorton. Our findings indicate that the mistreatment of detainees is not an institutional or government policy of the government of Afghanistan." Afghanistan's prisons were already well-known to be over-crowded and beset by a range of other problems, including inmate violence. In April, hundreds of prisoners escaped from jail in Afghanistan's southern Taleban heartland, Kandahar, through a tunnel dug by the insurgent group. Officials called the breakout a "disaster", and the scale of the operation fueled suspicions of collusion by guards. - Reuters [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Post message: [email protected] Subscribe : [email protected] Unsubscribe : [email protected] List owner : [email protected] Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/Yahoo!
