A/HRC/43/51/Add.3 note of the reply received on this case but remains concerned that Ms. Koroleva and her organisation appear to be targeted for exercising the right to freedom of expression, assembly and association, in particular by organising public events aimed at opposing the construction of the Baltic nuclear Power Plant in Kaliningrad Province. The Special Rapporteur would like to request updated information on the status of investigations against Ms. Koroleva as well as information on how the implementation of the so-called “Foreign Agents Law” is in line with the Russian Federation’s obligations under international human rights law, in particular with articles 19 and 22 of the ICCPR. 572. The Special Rapporteur is also concerned about the arrests and convictions of Mr. Kurbedinov in January 2017 and December 2018, which appear to be aimed at criminalising his legitimate exercise of freedom of expression, and which put him at risk of disbarment as a human rights lawyer. The Special Rapporteur is concerned that the attempted disbarment of Mr. Kurbedinov appears to constitute an arbitrary and disproportionate measure, and an act of retaliation for the legitimate exercise of his profession as a lawyer and human rights defender. The Special Rapporteur regrets that the response received on this case provided no substantive information on the allegations made and answered none of the questions raised. 573. In relation to the allegations outlined in his communication dated 19 September 2019, the Special Rapporteur continues to expresses concern about the alleged repression of peaceful protests held in Moscow from 14 July to 10 August 2019 against the exclusion of certain candidates in the elections for the Moscow City Duma. The Special Rapporteur reiterates specific concern about the detentions and prosecutions of protesters and journalists covering the demonstrations, the alleged failure to investigate complaints of excessive use of force by law enforcement officials and the internet shutdown, surveillance and public disclosure of personal data of some protesters. The Special Rapporteur is concerned that the acts of the authorities appear to have served to repress the legitimate exercise of the rights of individuals to public participation, freedom of expression and freedom peaceful assembly in the context of the local elections. The Special Rapporteur acknowledges the Government’s reply to his communication and looks forward to receiving the translation. 574. The Special Rapporteur is also concerned about the ban from entry into Russia issued against human rights defender Mr. Johannes Rohr, which appears to be linked to his work in defence of human rights and may represent acts of intimidation and reprisals following his engagement with the United Nations in the field of human rights, in particular in connection with his public remarks delivered during the 7th edition of the UN Forum on Business and Human Rights. The Special Rapporteur is further concerned by the decision to ban Mr. Rohr from entering the country until 2069, and the chilling effect that this may have on those working on the promotion and protection of the rights of indigenous peoples in Russia. He is grateful for the government’s reply to his communication and looks forward to receiving the translation. Spain 575.
