"FIDH and LDH welcome the opening of a judicial investigation following a complaint filed last October against the company Amesys for complicity in acts of torture in Libya.

"On October 19th, 2011, our organizations filed a complaint concerning the responsibility of the company Amesys, a subsidiary of Bull, for crimes allgedly committed through the supplying to Gaddafi’s regime, beginning in 2007, of a surveillance system intended to monitor communications of the Libyan population.

"FIDH and the LDH also welcome the attribution of this case to the specialized unit in war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, recently created within the Paris Tribunal, as they had requested."
