A Group of Homeless People Are Suing a City Over Its Treatment of Rough Sleepers

01 Oct 2023  |  www.vice.com

The municipal government, led by Mayor Dan Plato, opposes the challenge, arguing that by-laws must be upheld.

In Africa’s ‘first narco-state’, rehab can mean torture for addicts

01 Oct 2023  |  ca.sports.yahoo.com
In Guinea-Bissau, a nation grappling with a severe drug crisis, the primary rehab center in Quinhámel is criticized for inhumane treatment methods, including chaining and beating patients. Despite claims of spiritual healing by its founder Domingos Té, the center faces allegations of torture and deaths. The United Nations Human Rights Office has called for an investigation. The country, plagued by drug trafficking involving high-ranking officials, lacks adequate treatment facilities, forcing families to choose between poor conditions at Quinhámel or expensive private clinics. Efforts to combat drug trafficking are ongoing, but the involvement of political-military elites hampers progress. Harm reduction initiatives by NGOs like ENDA Santé offer some relief to drug users.
