Human rights training for the police

    ABIDJAN
    UNAMSIL human rights officers conducted human rights training for 120 officers of the Sierra Leonean Police Force during the month of October, HACU reported. The police authorities have asked UNAMSIL to continue providing the training each week at barracks in Freetown. Discussions are underway to give specialised training to a core group of senior police officers who will in turn do follow-up training for other members of the police force, particularly those based in the provinces. UNAMSIL also conducted human rights briefings for all new military observers, HACU said.
