Iraqis 'suffer a lack of rights'
By Michael Voss
BBC, New York

The United Nations special envoy to Iraq, Ashraf Qazi, has told the UN Security Council that greater attention needs to be paid to human rights there.

In particular, he highlighted what he said was a lack of rights afforded to people detained by the authorities.

Mr Qazi briefed the Security Council in New York during its quarterly review of the situation in Iraq.

It was the first such meeting to take place since national elections were held in Iraq in January.

Democracy is on the march, or so the Frat Boy says.
