Rights Group Fights a Foe With Frames

By PAMELA MENDELS

A Web site with the address www.amnesty-tunisia.org had been
operating quietly for about nine months when officials at Amnesty
International, the London-based human rights organization, discovered
it by chance last spring.

They did not like what they saw.

The site, posted by a French-Lebanese businessman, praises what it
characterizes as the advances made in human rights in recent years in
Tunisia, a country that Amnesty International has accused of
committing abuses like arbitrary arrest and torture of detainees.

Amnesty International officials said they eared that visitors to the
site would look at the Web address and conclude that Amnesty
International had posted the feature and was heaping plaudits on
Tunisia. This was especially disturbing to Amnesty officials,
because, they say, Amnesty International's own official Web pages
appear to have been blocked by Tunisian authorities from display in
the North African nation.

Recently, the group responded, not with the type of lawsuit that has
typified many Internet domain name disputes in the United States, but
with an unusual -- and pointed -- effort to set the record straight.
