Informations reçues concernant le décret-loi No. 2022-54 relatif à la lutte contre les infractions relatives aux systèmes d’informations et de communication (ci-après « le décret-loi »), adopté le 13 septembre 2022, pour lequel nous exprimons nos profondes préoccupations quant à sa compatibilité avec les normes et standards relatifs aux droits à la liberté de d’expression, de la presse, de l’indépendance des avocats, d’association et à la vie privée. Plus généralement, nous nous préoccupons du fait que cette nouvelle mesure législative, adoptée quelques mois avant les élections législatives, s’inscrit dans une tendance générale de restrictions croissantes aux libertés fondamentales, à la liberté d’expression et au débat libre et pluriel, qui sont les caractéristiques d’une société libre et démocratique.Alleged victims: - More details... | |

Information received concerning the following comments on the Law of the Republic of Tajikistan on Combating Terrorism (hereafter “CT Law”) and the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan (hereafter “Criminal Code”). We respectfully address a number of serious human rights challenges in relation to the definition of terrorism contained in the legislation which, in our view, is overly broad, the negative and disproportionate impact of the legislation on particular groups, on due process, as well as on the exercise of freedom of opinion and expression, and freedom of peaceful assembly and association. We therefore respectfully encourage your Excellency's Government to review and reconsider certain key aspects to ensure that the law complies with Tajikistan's international human rights obligations. We recall that Special Procedures Experts have raised concerns on some of these issues, particularly in relation to the Pamiri minority (communications TJK 1/2022, TJK 2/2022 and TJK 3/2022), to which the Government has not yet responded.Alleged victims: - More details... | |

Information received concerning amendments to law No. 136-Z "On Citizenship of the Republic of Belarus" allowing for the deprivation of nationality as a punitive measure and the application of the new Criminal Procedure Code provisions on trials in absentia. We have doubts about the compatibility of these legislative provisions and their implementation with the international human rights law obligations binding on Belarus. Namely, in terms of their potential negative impact on the right to a nationality and the right to a fair trial, the denial of which would profoundly affect the enjoyment of all other fundamental rights. Furthermore, there could be a potential intimidatory effect of this legislation purporting to limit the exercise of fundamental freedoms, including those of opinion and expression as well as of peaceful assembly and association by Belarusian nationals abroad, preventing them from uniting in any structures, participating in public actions, or expressing dissenting views and criticism towards the current governance.

The eviction orders have been issued in the context of the Government’s climate change mitigation action without the provision of alternative accommodation and productive land, nor adequate compensation. Allegedly, the national strategy to address the adverse effects of climate change pursues “false solutions” that are resulting in practice in the criminalization and impoverishment of poor small-scale farmers who depend on forests for their livelihoods, while the need to reform the energy sector is neglected.Alleged victims: 1 More details... |

Information received concerning ongoing forced evictions and demolitions of as many as 12,000 homes, affecting up to 96,000 people, mostly along two of Karachi’s nullahs (watercourses) - Gujjar and Orangi nullah, carried out in an intransparent manner without any consultations with the affected populations, with little to no notice to the affected residents, with no regard for different degrees of tenure they may hold, and with disparate provisions for redress and compensation. Despite recent stop orders issued by the High Court of Sindh, demolitions continued to take place, including of buildings the owners of which hold valid land leases. Following a Supreme Court of 14 June 2021 dismissing earlier interim stay, injunction and status quo orders, there are reports that demolitions are again underway in Gujjar and Orangi nullahs.These ongoing actions are resulting in irreversible forced displacement of large populations of people, putting them at risk of extreme poverty, homelessness and threatening public health during the global Covid-19 pandemic.Alleged victims: 96000 More details... | |

We express our serious concern with the amendment and expansion of anti-terrorism laws to be implemented by Your Excellency’s Government and their compatibility with Brazil’s international and human rights law obligations. In particular, we express serious concern with Senate Bill No. 272/2016, which seeks to reinstate provisions in Brazil’s Anti-Terrorism Law (Law No. 13.260/2016, approved on 16 March 2016) and Draft Bill No. 1595/2019, which also amends prior legislation (Laws No. 10,257, of July 10, 2001, and No. 9,807, of July 13, 1999). The amendments to the Anti-Terrorism Law proposed in Senate Bill No. 272/2016 (“Bill 272/2016”) by Your Excellency’s Government includes measures that could significantly expand the definition of terrorism under domestic law. This change may lead to limitations on the exercise of fundamental freedoms, including those of opinion, expression, and association and remove protection for civil society actors and human rights defenders. Furthermore, we express our serious concern with the process of expanding the list of acts considered terrorist acts, and the enhanced sentencing for broadly or ill-defined terms like “reward or praise,” and “incite”, all of which when coupled with the broad use of “terrorism” makes it easier to classify many acts as “terrorist acts” but undermine the principles of legality and legal certainty in contravention of your Excellency’s government international law obligations.
