Alleged enforced disappearance of an environmental rights defender. According to the 16/07/2014
information received, on 3 February 2014, Mr. Evgeny Vitishko was detained for
swearing while at a public bus stop. On 18 February 2014, Mr. Vitishko was
transferred to pre-trial detention centre No.1 in Krasnodar instead of being released.
On 24 February 2014, it was discovered that Mr. Vitishko’s fate and whereabouts
were unknown. Mr. Vitishko works with Environmental Watch on North Caucasus
(EWNC), an independent group that published a report on environmental damage
caused by preparations for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. Since 2011,
Mr. Vitishko has been involved in legal proceedings related to alleged damage to a
disputed fence in Krasnodar. In November 2011, he received a three-year suspended
sentence. In November 2013, he was imprisoned for alleged breach of curfew, a
condition of his probation. Grave concern is expressed about the physical and
psychological integrity of Mr. Vitishko.

Allégation concernant certaines dispositions de la nouvelle Constitution de la
République tunisienne soulèvant des préoccupations au regard des normes
internationales des droits de l’homme. Selon les informations reçues, un projet de loi
déposée devant l’Assemblée Nationale Constituante vise la révision ou l’annulation
d’un décret-loi relatif à la levée des réserves à la Convention sur l’élimination de
toutes les formes de discrimination à l’égard des femmes (CEDEF). Toutefois, le
Groupe de travail salue certaines avancées en matière d’égalité de genre et de
protection des droits fondamentaux des femmes dans la nouvelle Constitution qui a
été adoptée et promulguée respectivement le 26 et 27 Janvier 2014. Des
communications ont été envoyées précédemment par le Groupe de travail s’agissant
du processus de rédaction de la Constitution le 4 août 2011, réf. A/HRC/19/44, no.
TUN 2/2011 et le 16 août 2012, réf. A/HRC/22/67/Corr.2, no. TUN 3/2012.
