INTRODUCTION
This report covers two main activities undertaken after the 21st Session of the Commission
held in Nouakchott, Mauritania from 15 - 24 April 1997.
At the invitation of the Association for the Prevention of Torture (APT), I participated
in a one-day workshop on Modalities For Missions And Visits To Places of Detention
which APT organised in collaboration with Penal Reform International (PRI) in Geneva
on 24th May 1997.
In pursuit of my programme of activities which I presented to the Commission at its last
session, I visited prisons' in Bamako, 7 ombouctou, Goundam, Mopti, Baguineda and Kati
in Mali from 20 - 30 August 1997.
