Allegations concerning the indefinite detention of asylum seekers, the detention of
children, the detention conditions and the violent response to protests against these
conditions. According to the information received, at the end of January 2014, asylum
seekers at the Manus Island Regional Processing Centre staged protests about their
conditions. On17 and 18 February 2014, protests violently escalated in the Manus
Island Regional Processing Centre. The G4S security guards (the private company
providing security at the detention facility) allegedly responded with excessive use of
force when protests escalated. It is alleged that the Papua New Guinea police
responded with gun fire. This left one man dead and at least 53 asylum seekers
injured. The Manus Island Regional Processing Centre is a closed detention centre
which was set up pursuant to the adoption of the Regional Resettlement Arrangement
in 2013 between Australia and Papua New Guinea.

Allégations de détention arbitraire au Maroc d’une citoyen omanais et risque
l’extradition imminente vers le Sultanat d’Oman. Selon les informations reçues,
depuis 19 janvier 2014, M. Mohammed Rashid Eid Al Hashimi, un homme d’affaires
et citoyen omanais, était détenu arbitrairement au Maroc où il risquait l’extradition
imminente vers le Sultanat d’Oman. M. Al Hashimi était détenu sur la base d’un
mandat d’arrêt international qui a été examiné par les autorités judiciaires de plusieurs
pays respectifs et a abouti à sa libération en Allemagne et en Algérie. En outre, les
multiples procédures judiciaires engagées par les autorités du Sultanat d’Oman contre
M. Al Hashimi relève de l’acharnement judiciaire de la part et à l’instigation des plus
hautes autorités du pays.
