Valencia, Spain, Feb 9 (EFE).- Spanish police have arrested 26 people and implicated 10 more in a new operation against the possession and distribution of child pornography on the Internet.

Rolled out in 18 provinces over four months, the operation managed to intercept thousands of kiddie-porn files and seize 10 computers, 78 hard drives, a memory pen and 673 CDs and DVDs with pedophilic content, police said.

Last May a citizen in the eastern town of Torrent told police about the existence of some files with child-pornography content on the Internet, and from that moment agents concentrated on locating people who could be sharing those files.

The agents found several users who were making available to other people an index with different names that made a “clear reference” to kiddie-porn content, and so were able to locate all the users across several Spanish provinces.

GENEVA ( February 2010) – “There is an increased risk of unaccompanied children in Haiti, including orphans and restaveks*, being abducted, enslaved, sold or trafficked, due to increased insecurity in the country,” a group of UN human rights experts warned Tuesday**.
 
The experts, who are mandated by the Human Rights Council to monitor slavery, sale of children, trafficking and violence against children, stressed that “protection of children must be at the heart of the relief operation in Haiti.”
 
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Committee on the Rights of the Child and Independent Expert on Haiti have also emphasized the critical need to protect children in the chaotic aftermath of the earthquake, and in light of the particular dangers posed by thousands of gang-members and other criminals who escaped from prisons damaged by the quake.
