Información recibida en relación con el presunto uso excesivo y letal de la fuerza contra migrantes, incluidos refugiados y solicitantes de asilo, de ascendencia africana, en Melilla que resultó en la muerte de al menos 37 personas migrantes y en la lesión de otras decenas al intentar cruzar la frontera entre Marruecos y España. Además, nos preocupan seriamente los informes recibidos sobre los entierros masivos de los muertos ocurridos durante estos incidentes, que pueden causar un daño irreversible a las víctimas y a sus familias. Se alega que este incidente se enmarcaría en una serie de casos anteriormente señalados de uso excesivo de la fuerza hacia personas migrantes en la frontera hispano-marroquí, supuestamente basados en la discriminación racial y que con frecuencia darían lugar a violaciones del derecho a la vida y del principio no derogable de non-refoulement ( ESP 3/2021).Alleged victims: 37 More details... |

Informations reçues concernant des allégations d’usage excessif et létal de la force à l’encontre de migrants d’ascendance africaine, notamment des réfugiés et des requérants d’asile, à Melilla, qui a provoqué la mort d'au moins 37 migrants et blessé des dizaines d'autres alors qu'ils traversaient la frontière entre le Maroc et l'Espagne. En outre, nous sommes gravement préoccupés par les rapports faisant état de l'enterrement collectif des personnes tuées lors de ces incidents, ce qui risque de causer un préjudice irréversible aux victimes et à leurs familles. Cet incident s'inscrirait dans le cadre de cas déjà signalés de recours excessif à la force à l'encontre de migrants à la frontière hispano-marocaine, qui seraient fondés sur la discrimination raciale et entraîneraient souvent des violations du droit à la vie et du principe non dérogeable de non-refoulement (MAR 3/2021).Alleged victims: 37 More details... |

Information received concerning policies to deport undocumented Haitian migrants and to eradicate informal settlements known as “shanty towns” inhabited primarily by persons of Haitian origin or descent without any consultations or alternative accommodation provided to the affected minority and migrant communities. These policies have not taken into account the extreme vulnerability of the Haitian communities in the wake of category 5 Hurricane Dorian, which hit the Bahamas in September 2019, as a result of which many lost their lives, possessions, savings, personal documentation and jobs. Undocumented Haitian migrants are being deported in violation of the principle of non-refoulement, without individual assessments and due process guarantees, while informal settlements are being targeted for destruction without any consultation with their residents or the provision of adequate alternative housing. In April 2021, the authorities started an operation aiming to demolish around 600 newly-reconstructed homes in two adjacent informal settlements known as the Farm and the Farm Road on Abaco island, which will displace up to 2,000 persons (approx. 600 families), many of them women and children.Alleged victims: 3000 More details... | |

Information received concerning a registration and verification exercise in Al-Hol and Roj camps located in North-East Syria where your nationals, primarily women and children, are currently deprived of their liberty. In these makeshift locked camps made up of unstable tent-like structures which collapse in strong winds or flood with rain or sewage, hygiene is almost non-existent: limited drinking water is often contaminated, latrines are overflowing, mounds of garbage litter the grounds, and illnesses including viral infections are rampant. Food, water, health care and essential non-food supplies are provided by under-resourced humanitarian groups and organisations. According to the Kurdish Red Crescent, at least 517 people, 371 of them children, died in 2019, many from preventable diseases, in Al-Hol camp alone. In August 2020, eight children under the age of five died in that camp in less than a week, with four caused by malnutrition-related complications and the others were due to dehydration from diarrhoea, heart failure, internal bleeding and hypoglycaemia, according to UNICEF. Covid-19 has increased these difficulties, with a reduction in the number of workers operating in the camp. Alleged victims: 700 More details... | |

Information received concerning a registration and verification exercise in Al-Hol and Roj camps located in North-East Syria where your nationals, primarily women and children, are currently deprived of their liberty. In these makeshift locked camps made up of unstable tent-like structures which collapse in strong winds or flood with rain or sewage, hygiene is almost non-existent: limited drinking water is often contaminated, latrines are overflowing, mounds of garbage litter the grounds, and illnesses including viral infections are rampant. Food, water, health care and essential non-food supplies are provided by under-resourced humanitarian groups and organisations. According to the Kurdish Red Crescent, at least 517 people, 371 of them children, died in 2019, many from preventable diseases, in Al-Hol camp alone. In August 2020, eight children under the age of five died in that camp in less than a week, with four caused by malnutrition-related complications and the others were due to dehydration from diarrhoea, heart failure, internal bleeding and hypoglycaemia, according to UNICEF. Covid-19 has increased these difficulties, with a reduction in the number of workers operating in the camp. Alleged victims: 700 More details... | |

Informations reçues concernant une opération d'enregistrement et de vérification dans les camps d'Al-Hol et de Roj situés dans le nord-est de la Syrie où vos ressortissants, principalement des femmes et des enfants, sont actuellement privés de liberté. Dans ces camps de fortune fermés, constitués de structures vétustes qui s'effondrent sous l'effet de vents violents ou qui sont inondées par la pluie ou les eaux usées, les conditions sanitaires sont déplorables: l'eau potable est souvent contaminée, les latrines débordent, des monticules d'ordures jonchent le sol, et les maladies, y compris les infections virales, y sévissent. La nourriture, l'eau, les soins de santé et les produits non alimentaires essentiels sont fournis par des groupes et des organisations humanitaires aux ressources insuffisantes. Selon le Croissant rouge kurde, au moins 517 personnes, dont 371 enfants, seraient mortes en 2019, dont beaucoup de maladies évitables, rien que dans le camp d'Al-Hol. En août 2020, selon UNICEF, huit enfants de moins de cinq ans sont morts dans ce camp en moins d'une semaine, dont quatre à cause de complications liées à la malnutrition et les autres à cause d'une déshydratation due à la diarrhée, à une insuffisance cardiaque, à une hémorragie interne et à une hypoglycémie. Le Covid-19 a accru ces difficultés, en réduisant le nombre d’employés opérant dans le camp.Alleged victims: 700 More details... |

In these makeshift locked camps made up of unstable tent-like structures which collapse in strong winds or flood with rain or sewage, hygiene is almost non-existent: limited drinking water is often contaminated, latrines are overflowing, mounds of garbage litter the grounds, and illnesses including viral infections are rampant. Food, water, health care and essential non-food supplies are provided by under-resourced humanitarian groups and organisations. According to the Kurdish Red Crescent, at least 517 people, 371 of them children, died in 2019, many from preventable diseases, in Al-Hol camp alone.

Allegations of physical violence by law enforcement officials of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia against migrants peacefully protesting and of collective expulsion of migrants in possible violation of the principle of non-refoulement. According to the information received, on 27 February 2016, law enforcement officials from the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia started firing stun grenades and dispersing teargas in a mass of migrants peacefully protesting at the Idomeni border point. On 3 March 2016, two migrants - one of them a key figure in the protest - suffered physical violence at the hands of law enforcement officials. When more than 1000 migrants crossed the border to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia’s territory on 14 March 2016, they were apprehended by military and police and expelled to Greece; some of the migrants suffered physical violence at the hands of military and police. The issue of mass expulsions and violation of the principle of non-refoulement was subject of a previous communication sent on 4 March 2016, see above, case no.

Alleged mistreatment of migrants and asylum seekers by law enforcement authorities involving threats to their physical and mental integrity, excessive use of force, summary returns in potential violation of the non-refoulement principle and due process guarantees, and systematic detention, including of children, in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions. According to the information received, between March and November 2015, at least 59 migrants have been returned from Bulgaria to Turkey by Bulgarian law enforcement officers, often after having been deprived of their personal belongings and after having been subjected to beatings. Police dogs and fire-arms are allegedly used as a means of deterrence which reportedly resulted in the death of an asylum seeker by a gun shot fired by a law enforcement official in October 2015. Migrants, including children, getting caught when crossing the border irregularly get systematically detained in centres in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, which could amount to ill-treatment.

Retrospective charging and trial of a human rights defender. According to the information received, since 2011, Ms. Tatiana Kotlyar has allowed migrants and asylum seekers to register her home as their place of residence free of charge in order to enable them to apply for citizenship in the Russian Federation. On 2 January 2014, amendments were made to Articles 322.2 and 322.3 of the Criminal Code, criminalizing the false registration of migrants. Ms. Kotlyar had previously spoken out in opposition to proposals of such amendments. On 11 March 2014, a criminal case was opened against Ms. Kotlyar alleging she violated the amended articles. On 30 April 2014, a psychiatric examination of Ms. Kotlyar was ordered by the investigating officer in her case. This was subsequently annulled, before the opening of a second criminal case against Ms. Kotlyar, again in relation to registration of migrants. The trial of Ms. Kotlyar began at the Magistrates Court of Obninsk City on 2 October 2015. The next hearing is scheduled for 6 November 2015. Alleged victims: 1 More details... |

Allegations concerning the ongoing repatriation to Nigeria of a group of 68 Nigerian women, possible victims of trafficking in persons currently detained at the Center for Identification and Expulsion of Ponte Galeria in Rome, Italy. According to the information received, except for 13 of these women identified as victims of trafficking, international protection requests for all were rejected. In less than two months, between 25 and 30 women had been repatriated and the rest are awaiting imminent deportation. There is concern that the quality of the screening process conducted by the authorities, the characteristic of the group, the number of irregular migrants arriving by sea and the hidden/ dangerous aspect of human trafficking, may have hampered accurate identification of this group and other potential victims of trafficking during the screening process and their protection consideration.Alleged victims: 2 More details... | |

Allegations concerning the Government of Hungary’s actions aimed at preventing the mobility of asylum seekers and migrants onto and/or within its territory. According the information received, since April 2015, the Government has taken a number of measures aimed at preventing asylum seekers and migrants from either entering or exiting the country. In May, the Government mailed more than eight million questionnaires entitled “national consultation on immigration and terrorism” to its citizens reportedly inciting hatred and actively promoting hostility towards migrants. In early June, the Government reportedly launched a controversial billboard campaign against migration. On 17 June 2015, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade announced the closure of the Hungarian-Serbian border by erecting a four-meter-high fence by the 175-kilometre long border section. In July, Hungary’s parliament passed new legislation tightening asylum rules. On 1 September, the Hungarian police reportedly sealed off a major railway station in Budapest in order to prevent migrants from leaving Hungary. Grave concern is expressed at the above actions taken by the Government as part of a wider pattern of racism, racial discrimination and xenophobia against foreigners, migrants and asylum seekers.

According to the information received, Ms. X landed in Mauritius on 27 January 2015 as part of a study abroad program.

Allegations concerning the negative impact of the recent immigration reform in the Bahamas and the subsequent alleged detention and deportation of persons, including children, of Haitian descent living in the Bahamas. According to the information received, on 1 November 2014, the Government of Bahamas initiated the implementation of a new immigration policy approved by Parliament on 17 September 2014. The new policy establishes that everyone living in the Bahamas is required to have a passport of the country of their nationality and, in the case of non-Bahamian citizens, a residency or work permit previously issued by a consular office in a foreign country. Reportedly, since 1 November 2014, several operations to enforce the new policy were carried out by officials from the Department of Immigration. In January 2015, the Bahamas Minister of Foreign Affairs confirmed that 5,841 people were repatriated during 2014. Reportedly, the measures have had a disproportionate impact on Haitians living in the Bahamas, including children of Haitian descent who were born in the Bahamas. Furthermore, detention conditions in Carmichael Detention Centre, where Haitians are awaiting deportation to Haiti, are reportedly not in compliance with international human rights standards. Detainees for instance do not have access to health professionals and are not provided with basic hygiene products, clothes, sufficient beds and adequate food.Alleged victims: - More details... | |

Allegations concerning the failure of the Government of the Netherlands to provide emergency assistance to homeless irregular migrants. According to the information received, the Government denies emergency assistance, such as food, clothing and shelter, to adult homeless irregular migrants. Recently, in two separate decisions, the European Committee of Social Rights found that the Netherlands was violating the European Social Charter by failing to provide adequate access to emergency assistance to irregular migrants. Although over 60 municipalities have requested the Government to provide them with temporary budget support to offer such assistance to irregular migrants and to temporarily halt their eviction from centres for asylum-seekers as a way of preventing more individuals from becoming homeless, the Government has refused to honour their requests. Concern is expressed that the Government reportedly still maintains that it is not under any obligation to provide emergency assistance for homeless migrants in an irregular situation, which contradicts international human rights law.

Alleged negative impact of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) government proposal to abolish the Overseas Domestic Worker (ODW) visa system. According to the information received, the ODW visa system has been hailed as best practice and provides important safeguards to prevent abuse, exploitation and trafficking of migrant domestic workers. If the ODW visa system is abolished, this will contribute to facilitating contemporary forms of slavery practices, including trafficking, by allowing employers to bring migrant workers to the UK with no legal protection. Migrant domestic workers would also be tied to their employer and if their rights are violated, they may face the dilemma of continuing to suffer or fleeing and becoming irregular in the UK. Migrant domestic workers themselves would be unable to seek justice through criminal courts or employment tribunals for violations of their right to be free from servitude and other human rights violations.

Deportation of migrants from Thailand to Myanmar have also been reported which could be in violation of the obligation of non-refoulement.Alleged victims: - More details... |

Request for information on measures taken to ensure that legislation at state and federal level ensures the protection of the human rights of migrants. The letter welcomes the announcement by the Government of the USA on 18 August 2011 of a new policy according to which deportation proceedings against irregular migrants who do not pose a clear threat to national security and/or public security, have lengthy criminal record and/or egregious record of immigration violations, will be suspended and subject to individual review. In this context, further information is sought on the situation, treatment and status of irregular migrants in the country, in particular the enactment of comprehensive federal legislation ensuring protection of the human rights of migrants living in the USA.

Alleged mandatory detention of asylum seekers. According to information received, mandatory detention for unauthorised arrivals was introduced through the Migration Amendment Act of 1992. The legislation was amended in 1994 (Migration Reform Act 1992) ensuring that asylum seekers arriving in Australia without prior authorization could be detained for unspecified and prolonged periods of time. Allegedly, as of March 2011, there were 6500 people in immigration detention in Australia, as many as 1000 of these children. Some have reportedly been held in detention for as long as 7 years. In 2008 the Australian Government launched new guidelines according to which immigration detention should be used for the shortest practicable period and asylum seekers should only be held in detention while their health, identity and security checks are conducted. However, these guidelines are reportedly yet to be implemented. Allegedly, there are no possibilities to challenge the legality of the detention in a court.Alleged victims: - More details... | |

Selon les informations reçues, les personnes qui ne remplissent pas les conditions nécessaires pour accéder au territoire français ou pour poursuivre leur voyage vers un pays étranger; ou qui sollicitent leur admission sur le territoire au titre de l‘asile, sont placées dans des «zones d‘attente».
