problems. It is hoped that the Unit will hold a research and documentation workshop in which these misunderstandings can be ironed out and also relations will be mended between partners and members of the Forum. Due to the problems above and also the fact that not all information will come to our attention for one reason or other, even though our reports and databases are a reliable source of information, they cannot be considered as the exhaustive record of all incidents of politically motivated violations of human rights occurring in the country at any given period. Nevertheless, of the 5 792 incidents reported in 2006, a huge total of 368 torture cases were recorded. Moreover, 1 566 violations against freedom of expression and association were recorded, 1 460 and 1 457 violations of unlawful arrests and unlawful detentions respectively, 55 displacements as well as 296 on political discrimination, victimization and intimidation. Reports There are 3 types of reports that are compiled by the unit. These include Special/ad hoc reports, the human rights bulletin and the MPVR. Monthly Political Violence Report (MPVR) The objective of this report is to analyze every month, the trend of political violence and violations of rights that are politically motivated. The statistical analysis of the violations are done and events during a month are also analyzed in order to see whether or not events correspond to violations and what events would lead to greater violations of humans rights. In 2006, a total of 11 reports were done for each month up to November and the report for December was done at the beginning of 2007. The December MPVR was an analysis of the years 2005 and 2006 as well as presenting the statistics for December 2006. Conclusions drawn from this report indicate an increase in violations from 2005 5
