This short paper updates an AI report issued in February 1994 (AFR 24/01/94) which described the escalation of human rights violations by the security forces in the run-up to the November 1993 elections. AI has received news of further violations related to the elections. About 100 people have reportedly been arrested and tortured or ill-treated on the grounds that they failed to vote.

Political activists arrested after the elections include: Asuncion Micha, Isabel Nchama and Mercedes Mangue; Diosdado Chale Becha, Jesus Angri Noconoco, Weka Becucu and Becha; and Matias Ela Econg.
