In an annual report on human rights worldwide, Amnesty International again urged the United States to close the Guantánamo Bay detention camp. It also said “flash points” in the Darfur region of Sudan and in Zimbabwe, Gaza, Iraq and Myanmar “demand immediate action” from world leaders. Amnesty, a human rights watchdog group, accused the European Union of complicity in the practice of rendition, the transporting of terrorism suspects secretly to other countries for interrogation; urged China to “live up to the human rights promises it made around the Olympic Games;” and said Russia should “show greater tolerance for political dissent, and none for impunity on human rights abuses in Chechnya.”
