Amnesty International has just received reports that El Hadj M’lik, whose whereabouts had been unknown since his arrest more than ten months ago, has recently been seen alive in a military security centre in Ben Aknoun near the capital, Algiers. He is reportedly in poor health. His situation has been exacerbated by his advanced age and the fact that like other detainees, he is forced to sleep directly on a concrete surface without bedcovers.
