Senegal: ICRC visits people held by MFDC

Delegates of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) visited 12 people today who have been held since 3 May by the Movement of Democratic Forces of Casamance (MFDC). All 12, three of whom are women, had been involved in mine-clearance operations in Casamance, a region beset by a protracted armed conflict.
