Según la información recibida, el día 16 de diciembre, hombres fuertemente armados no identificados habrían subido a un tren en Chahuite (Oaxaca) y habrían secuestrado a aproximadamente 40 migrantes. El día 18 de diciembre, algunos de los migrantes que viajaban en el tren habrían llegado al refugio “Albergue de Migrantes Hermanos en el Camino de la Esperanza”, gestionado por la Pastoral católica de Movilidad Humana de la Diócesis de Tehuantepec, del cual el Padre Solalinde es director. El Padre Solalinde habría denunciado los secuestros y, junto con más activistas, habrían llevado a cabo el día 8 de enero una marcha a pie para llamar la atención sobre la vulnerabilidad de los migrantes en la parte sur de México. Tras estos hechos, las continuas amenazas que venía recibiendo el Padre Solalinde y sus colaboradores se habrían intensificado. 24/01/11 IND 1/2011 AL India Health 25/01/11, Alleged negative impact on access to medicines by the proposed EU-India free trade agreement. According to the information received, the EU and India have been negotiating a 15/02/11 free trade agreement for years. If India would enter into a free trade agreement with the EU including TRIPS-plus provisions, its ability to produce generic medicines for domestic and international consumption would reportedly be restricted. As a result, millions of people in India and around the world – in particular people living with HIV, who are dependent on generic medicines produced in India – would allegedly lose access to necessary medicines. Reportedly, medicines are sold at relatively affordable prices in India because most of the medicines are locally produced and due to competition among companies producing generic medicines. 07/02/11 A/HRC/18/51 36 Date Type
