Information received concerning the alleged arbitrary arrest, threats, surveillance, travel restrictions and harassment of two Montagnard Protestants and human rights defenders, Mr. Y Khiu Niê and Mr. Y Sĩ Êban, which appear to be related to the legitimate exercise of their rights to freedom of thought, conscience and religion in the context of participating in an international conference on freedom of religion or belief in Southeast Asia, that took place in Bali (Indonesia). The allegations received also indicate that these restrictions might constitute acts of intimidation and reprisals for engaging or attempting to engage with the United Nations, its representatives and mechanisms in the field of human rights.Alleged victims: 2 More details... | |

Information received concerning the imminent risk of execution of three persons and long prison convictions of three others, in the context of alleged persecution of members of the Howeitat tribe. Messrs. Shadly Ahmad Mahmoud Abou Taqiqa al-Huwaiti, Ibrahim Salih Ahmad Abou Khalil al-Huwaiti and Atallah Moussa Mohammed al-Huwaiti, have been sentenced to death. Messrs. Abdelnasser Ahmad Mahmoud Abou Taqiqa al-Huwaiti, Mahmoud Ahmad Mahmoud Abou Taqiqa al-Huwaiti and Abdullah Dakhilallah al-Huwaiti, have been handed severe prison sentences. All are convicted for terrorist acts, which are allegedly baseless, and they are rather being punished for merely voicing their opposition to the forced evictions of the Howeitat tribe, including on social media. Some of them have allegedly been subjected to torture and ill-treatment while in custody, including prolonged solitary confinement, for the purpose of extracting confessions. The six, along with other members of the Howeitat tribe, have been resisting evictions from their homes under the NEOM project, part of the Saudi 2030 Vision. The NEOM project is being implemented allegedly without genuine consultation, free prior and informed consent, and access to effective remedies of the Howeitat tribe, whose members have been threatened with evictions from Al Khuraiba, Sharma and Gayal villages. NEOM is a project of the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which owns 100% of a closed joint-stock company named Neom. A number of international companies, have been allegedly involved in different stages of the development of the Neom Project.Alleged victims: 6 More details... |
