20/02/2013 JAL 20/02/2013 UA Case No Country Mandate(s) Summary of the allegation transmitted Reply IND 2/2013 India Adequate housing; Freedom of peaceful assembly and of association; Human rights defenders; Water and Sanitation; Alleged forced eviction of over 5,000 people living in economically weaker 21/02/2013 section (EWS) quarters in Koramangala, Bangalore. According to information received, from 18 to 21 January 2013, Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) [Greater Bangalore Municipal Corporation] evicted over 5,000 people living informally in economically weaker section (EWS) quarters in Koramangala, Bangalore. Allegedly, no prior notice was issued to the residents. During the eviction police reportedly used violence against residents, a number of whom were also arrested. No alternative accommodation or housing has been provided. Since the eviction, many BBMP residents have been spending days and nights in the open, without shelter or access to basic services. Reportedly, in 2005 a large number of the evicted residents had been promised new housing by BBMP after their original housing at the site was destroyed. Yet no housing was built since and residents had to settle informally at the site. ISR 1/2013 Israel Torture; Allegations of imminent extradition from Israel to the United States of America and the imminent risk of prolonged solitary confinement amounting to torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. According to the information received, Mr. Yitzi Shuchat is the subject of an extradition request from the United States of America, dated 23 September 2009 for offences relating to hate crimes. It is alleged that because Mr. Shuchat is charged with a hate crime he will have to be protected from other inmates and that he will be transferred to the protective custody housing unit. It is alleged that it is therefore most likely that in the case of extradition to the United States Mr. Shuchat will be immediately placed in detention under conditions of solitary confinement, for a prolonged period of time due to an imminent security risk related to the offences Mr. Shuchat is charged with.
