Adeyinka Ogunwolu Do we have enough, if at all, action on the so called "control order" used in our developed and civilised society on people accused without formal charges and sometimes people clandenstinely accused. Does this not open to abuses, no matter how genuine the intent of the rule. some people are suffering in silence just because of this law.

Dear friends: From Chile. Last July, after THIRTEEN YEARS OF TRIAL, ALEJANDRO SCHAYMAN KLEIN- abuser and parricide- was condemned life imprisonment for his crimes. He escaped to Bolivia, and he has been reported living in Sucre by Interpol. After two months and thirteen days, on October 13, Supreme Court of Chile appr...oved the extradition request of this criminal to be sendt by Chilean Foreing Ministry to Bolivian Government, and it has not been done yet. Every nation has the duty to "remove obstacles" that might hinder the human right to justice; and as we have seen in this case, Chilean authorities have selves-made "time" as the greatest obstacle to reach justice. We appeal to the International Human Rights Organizations to get involved in this case, as we can not see from Chilean authorities the will to treat our children as Humans with full rights.
