DJIBOUTI: Rights record poor, says US
NAIROBI, 10 APRIL 2003 (IRIN) - The Djibouti government's human rights record last year was poor and "serious problems remained", according to the US State Department's annual report.

The report, covering 2002, said the ruling People's Rally for Progress had continued to dominate the political system and suppress organised opposition.

Other human rights violations included the arbitrary or unlawful deprivation of life by the government or its agents.
