Human rights in Uruguay (March 1979-February 1980)

Feb 1, 1980

The ICJ thematic report on the human rights records in Uruguay. The reports focuses mainly on political prisoners.

There is every indication that there is a regime which continues to practice repeated and systematic violations of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. Internally, any action for the respect of fundamental rights, as well as any resistance to the regime, is virtually impossible given the scope and extent of military repression.

The report contains information on:

Torture and ill-treatments of political prisoners
Conditions of detentions or imprisonment
Present number of political prisoners
Liberation of prisoners
Military justice
“Forced disappearance” of opponents
Institutional situation – state of emergency
Dismissal of civil servants
Freedom of expression – the press
Union rights
Political rights- elections
The exile
Economic situation
Military control
