The human rights situation in the north is still an issue due to the conditions in the camps, the psychological trauma caused by the war, and the resettlement of refuges.
The unemployment is high (some say as high as 60%), and the youths are the once most effected. But generally poverty is the biggest human right issue.
The group naturally focused mostly on the political human rights.
Because of the coming election the situation is becoming worse. The foundation director told stories of imprisonment, torture and even killings of politicians.
Åsmund Aukrust had earlier been to visit UYD- members in prison, so we also discussed the health situation and the overcrowding in the prisons.
The director finished of the meeting by emphasizing that in order to achieve change in the human right conditions, one need to change the leadership from the grasroots.
