Wed, 8 Sep 1999 6:50 AEST LOCAL NEWS : Queensland Amnesty considers request to review dropping of police charges A world human rights organisation says it will consider an Aboriginal Legal Service request to look into the dismissal of brutality charges against three Queensland police. The Police Misconduct Tribunal ruled the officers did not use undue force while breaking up a brawl in Ipswich two-and-a-half years ago. Heinz Schurmann-Zeggel of Amnesty International says more information is needed from all parties involved before they can act. "I hope [we] will have a chance of looking at that and then getting back to people," he said. "As you may remember at the time, Amnesty International published a report about what we believe was in three cases, excessive use of force constituting ill treatment - and we stick by that." © 1999 Australian Broadcasting Corporation ------------------------------------------------------- RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 and is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/ To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words: unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."
