In 1990 there were just 25 applications from Algerians for political asylum in the UK. From the beginning of a barbaric civil war in 1992, the total has soared to more than 4,000

Article Abstract:

The extremely violent civil war in Algeria has led to the deaths of many innocent civilians, with atrocities being committed by both the security forces and armed opposition groups. Many people have fled from the country, especially if they have been working for an armed opposition group or are among the people being particularly targeted. A large number have come to the UK, but they have received a very cool welcome there. Some have been imprisoned while their case has been considered, and many have been sent back to face an uncertain fate in Algeria.

Charity calls for end to rape victims' ordeal

Article Abstract:

The charity Victim Support has been campaigning for many years for better treatment of rape victims in the UK. Despite this, many victims still suffer harassment, and may even have to move home. Some are intimidated by friends or family of the defendant, while others are harassed by the defendant himself. It is common for rape victims not to receive even the most basic information about the progress of their case, and they may not be informed if their attacker has been released on bail.

Pay squeeze as inflation hits new low

Article Abstract:

Public spending cuts continued with public sector pay awards of 1.5% announced on Feb 12, 1993 despite inflation going down to 1.7% in Jan 1993. Teachers were awarded a rise of 0.5% as restructuring would bring the increase up to 1.5%. Health unions refused to accept the review body recommended increase. Incomes Data Services' most recent pay analysis showed half of all pay settlements were 3 to 4%.
