Information received concerning Mr. Toomaj Salehi, an Iranian musician who was violently arrested and is being detained for supporting the peaceful protests as well as for raising his voice through protest songs. Mr. Toomaj Salehi is charged with multiple counts, including “corruption on earth” (efsad-e fel arz), a capital offence under Iran’s strict interpretation of Islamic law and is therefore facing death penalty. He is also charged with spreading propaganda against the government, formation and management of illegal groups with the aim of undermining national security, collaboration with hostile government and spreading lies and inciting violence through cyberspace.

Informations reçues concernant les projets de stockage d’eau qui se développent en France depuis les années 90 (« méga-bassines »), l’usage excessif de la force à l’encontre de leurs opposants lors de manifestations, ainsi que la criminalisation des organisations de défense des droits humains et de l’environnement. Les méga-bassines font l’objet de contestations en raison de leur potentiel impact environnemental et social, ainsi que du point de vue du respect des droits à l’alimentation, à l’eau, à un environnement propre et sain, à la liberté de réunion pacifique et d’association.
