Amnesty International is particularly concerned by the following human rights problems in Rhodesia:

1. 1. the use of preventive detention, imposed without charge or trial for periods of indefinite duration ...;

2. 2. the physical restriction of released prisoners and political detainees;

3. 3. the holding of trials and detention review tribunals in camera;

4. 4. the use of the death penalty, in some cases on a mandatory basis, for a wide range of offences, and the execution, in secret, of condemned prisoners;

5. 5. the torture of political prisoners;

6. 6. the government’s refusal to establish an independent inquiry into the allegations of atrocities committed by the Rhodesian security forces;

7. 7. the forced settlement of large numbers of rural Africans in so-called “protective villages” as part of the government’s counter-insurgency policy.
