FOLLOWING A SPATE of detentions under security Procla mation AG 9, it is once again necessary to draw the attention of the authorities to continuing detention without trial in Namibia. We need not once again remind these same authorities of a socalled bill of rights which claims to denounce such practices, and yet they carryon. The existing security legislation in this country was the subject of the Van Dyk Commission of Inquiry into security legislation, and appointed by the former Admirlistrator General, Dr Willie van Niekerk. The Van Dyk Commission has, a<;cording to an interim govern ment Minister, already handed its report and recommendations to the Cabinet for scrutiny. It is understood that the eight-member interim government Cabinet are still studying the Commission's findings. . It is high time the recommendations of the Van Dyk Commis sion become public, since Namibians should be informed, as a mat ter of urgency, about matters of such a serious nature.
