    The Amnesty International organization has expressed its readiness to
    assist the Armenian human rights commissioner in meeting the
    authorities in Equatorial Guinea over the fate of Armenian pilots,
    Armenian ombudsman Larisa Alaverdyan told a news conference today.

    Alaverdyan said she was currently preparing a report on the human
    rights situation in the country, which will be published in March. It
    cannot be ruled out that it will contain the names of several
    government officials.

    Since starting work on 1 March 2004, the ombudsman's office has
    received 1,590 complaints, of which 680 were filed from the
    countryside. A total of 275 complaints concern local government
    bodies, 178 courts, 164 the Ministry of Social Security, 124 the
    police, 76 the State Committee for the Registration of State Property
    and 65 the Ministry of Justice.
