Information received on allegations of gender discrimination in the context of pension legislation, particularly impacting women born in the 1950s. These women are discriminatorily impacted by the Pensions Act 1995 (the 1995 Act), which changed the age of pensionable retirement for women from 60 to 65, bringing it into alignment with the pension qualification age of 65 years for men. This affects approximately 3.9 million women who were born in the 1950s. Alleged victims: 4000001 More details... |

Information received concerning alleged violations of human rights of persons deprived of their liberty under politically motivated charges, including of terrorism and extremism. Namely, we are extremely concerned with allegations about the continued arbitrary detention, including during extended periods of incommunicado and solitary confinement, ill-treatment and restrictions of their basic prisoners’ rights (as disciplinary measures and due to their status of persons incriminated for “extremism” and “terrorism” related offences), as well as reports about violations of due process and fair trial guarantees in relation to six individuals Ms. Aliaksandra Pulinovich (initially detained when she was still a minor), Ms. Volha Mayorava, Mr. Yahor Volkau, Mr. Stsiapan Latypau, Mr. Viachaslau (Vatslau) Areshka and Mr. Serhei Salash.

Information received concerning the situation of the community residing in the Prosfygika housing complex on Alexandras Avenue, Athens. Reportedly, around 400 people are currently residing in the complex, and they are at risk of eviction if a development and renovation plan is implemented by the authorities of the Region of Attica. While the building may be in need of structural review and repair, we are concerned that the eviction would render many people homeless and may strongly affect self-organised social welfare programmes as well as food provisioning that are vital for the affected residents and the local community.Alleged victims: 400 More details... | |
