Conditions in pre-trial de tention centers — where first time offenders accused of petty crimes can wait up to five years for a court appearance — are even worse than labor camps for hardened convicts, the re port said. “The oppressive heat, lack of oxygen, and the odors of sweat, excrement and disease created by gross overcrowding are overpowering,” said Nigel Rodley, the U.N.’s special in vestigator on torture, who wrote the report. At the invitation of the Russ ian government, Rodley spent two weeks visiting prisons near Moscow and St. Petersburg, in cluding four pre-trial centers, two police headquarters, one la bor camp, one juvenile center and one hospital for seriously ill prisoners. The Russian government es timates there are 500,000 pris oners in about 528 prisons and penal colonies throughout the country. Russia has the highest rate of detentions in the world. Rodley said the skyrocketing crime rate following the end of communist control has wors ened already serious over crowding in prisons. He criti cized Russian authorities for responding to public concern about crime by throwing petty offenders into jail. SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herze- govina (AP) — The United Nations’ authority unraveled further Thursday as Serb fighters kidnapped more U.N. peacekeepers and pressed their stranglehold on the “safe area” of Bihac. Alexander Ivanko, a U.N. spokesman, said Bosnian Serb units crossed the border into Croatia and seized seven Ukrainian peacekeepers from an observation post. They took the soldiers and a U.N. armored carrier into Bosnian Serb-held territory, and the United Nations has not heard from its soldiers since. The observation post is now occupied by the Serbs, which allows them unimpeded move ment of equipment and per sonnel from Serb-held Croatia into Bosnia. Serb fighters from the two countries have joined in an offensive to drive Muslim-led Bosnian govern ment forces out of the Bihac region of northwest Bosnia. Bosnian Serbs did agree to meet Friday with top U.N. envoy Yasushi Akashi in Pale, their stronghold east of Sarajevo. On Wednesday, they refused to meet U.N. chief Boutros Boutros-Ghali because he insisted talks be held in Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina’s inter nationally recognized gov ernment. 4 What’s Up Friday MSC Hospitality: Winter in Aggieland Craft Fair in the MSC from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. come do your holiday shopping early.
