Santo Domingo.- Amnesty International denounced Wednesday that 289 people died at the hands of the National Police; 60 journalists and other media workers underwent harassment or physical aggressions, and at least 100 were evacuated by force in several parts of the country from January to September last year.
In its annual report read by local investigator Chiara Liguori, AI said these figures come from a study conducted from January to December last year in different parts of the nation.
Quoted by listin.com.do, Liguori said Amnesty International’s annual report contains denunciations from 155 countries on abuses against human rights.
He said the organization’s more than 3.0 million supporters, members and activists in more than 150 countries wage a campaign to end abuses against human rights.
Citing Justice Ministry statistics, the AI representative said 289 people died at the hands of Police in 2011, compared with 260 in 2010, and cases of tortures during police interrogations and massive arbitrary arrests still continue.

Matador, you obviously have no contact with the police in DR otherwise you would know better than to make that statement.....Our police are among the least educated and trained. But then again, they're also among the least paid....you get what you pay for and it's just the way the government wants it.

Hellborn...your comments are pure trash.
The companies that you mentioned are all public, not owned by the Jews.
Only uneducated people spout such garbage.
I would rather be confronted by the police(highly unlikely) than by the street thugs(more likely).
Who does AI think they are helping, anyway? The criminals?

Don't believe the hype!
What do they expect the police to do when confronted by armed criminals? Do they say how many officers have been killed by these criminals, most times just to take their guns?
"F" them and "F" A.I.
Many times, I've been stopped by those famous "check points" at night, with no consequences. Of course, I don't armo un yun-yun and simply follow instructions, no crazy movements/actions, and just show my Cedula, DL, car registration and insurance.

heres one article thats written about facebook .
Facebook has flat out declared war on privacy. Founder and CEO of Facebook, in defense of Facebook's privacy changes last January: "People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people. That social norm is just something that has evolved over time." More recently, in introducing the Open Graph API: "... the default is now social." Essentially, this means Facebook not only wants to know everything about you, and own that data, but to make it available to everybody. Which would not, by itself, necessarily be unethical, except that ...

Facebook is pulling a classic bait-and-switch. At the same time that they're telling developers how to access your data with new APIs, they are relatively quiet about explaining the implications of that to members. What this amounts to is a bait-and-switch. Facebook gets you to share information that you might not otherwise share, and then they make it publicly available. Since they are in the business of monetizing information about you for advertising purposes, this amounts to tricking their users into giving advertisers information about themselves. This is why Facebook is so much worse than Twitter in this regard: Twitter has made only the simplest (and thus, more credible) privacy claims and their customers know up front that all their tweets are public. It's also why the FTC is getting involved, and people are suing them (and winning).

6. Facebook is a bully. When Pete Warden demonstrated just how this bait-and-switch works (by crawling all the data that Facebook's privacy settings changes had inadvertently made public) they sued him. Keep in mind, this happened just before they announced the Open Graph API and stated that the "default is now social." So why sue an independent software developer and fledgling entrepreneur for making data publicly available when you're actually already planning to do that yourself? Their real agenda is pretty clear: they don't want their membership to know how much data is really available. It's one thing to talk to developers about how great all this sharing is going to be; quite another to actually see what that means in the form of files anyone can download and load into MatLab.
