The human rights group Amnesty International has issued a report alleging serious human rights violations in Togo during the West African country's recent elections. The document, entitled 'Togo: Will History Repeat Itself?', was released Wednesday. It accuses the Togolese security forces and pro-government militants of targeting suspected opponents and other citizens in a campaign of extrajudicial executions, torture, rape, kidnappings and arbitrary arrests.
