UN rights chief urges Mali to repeal 'draconian decree' dissolving political parties

The U.N. rights chief called on Mali Friday to immediately repeal a decree this week dissolving political parties, and to "fully restore political rights in the country."

"The Transitional President should repeal this draconian decree," Volker Turk said in a statement, insisting that "any restrictions of political participation must be consistent with Mali’s international human rights law obligations."
