Date Type Case No Country Mandate(s) Summary of the allegation transmitted 08/09/10 JAL THA 6/2010 Migrants; Racism; Torture 05/07/11 Alleged negative impact of the nationality verification process on the human rights of migrants. According to the information received, approximately 300,000 reported migrant workers failed to enter the nationality verification (NV) process by the extended deadline of 31 March 2010, and an estimated 1 million unregistered migrant workers were ineligible for the NV process. These migrant workers are deemed as migrants with irregular status and particularly vulnerable to arbitrary arrest, violence, abuse, discrimination and exploitation by the police, military and immigration officers. Reportedly, Maung Kyi, an irregular migrant worker from Myanmar who was arrested on 5 August 2008, was severely beaten by the police officers. On 8 March 2010, two young sisters from Myanmar, Nyo Nyo San, 20 years old, and Myint Myint San, 12 years old, reportedly drowned while trying to escape a police raid of their living quarters near Klong Cork Mu. This pattern of arbitrary arrest, violence, abuse and exploitation of migrants had reportedly been exacerbated by the Prime Minister’s order of 2 June 2010 issued to set up a Special Centre to Suppress, Arrest and Prosecute Alien Workers Who Are Working Underground (No.125/1223). The NV process was the subject of earlier communications (see above, case no. THA 10/2009 and THA 1/2010). 14/09/10 AL ARG 7/2010 Summary executions Uso excesivo de la fuerza por parte de la policía.

According to the information received, more than half of India’s Regional Cancer Centres do not offer any palliative care for pain management. It is estimated that more than one million people suffer from moderate to severe pain due to advanced cancer, and only a few receive proper treatment. The same reportedly occurs for people with HIV/AIDS, paraplegics, patients with advanced renal diseases and others who require palliative care. Additionally, many of the Regional Cancer Centres do not have health workers who are trained in palliative care. Thailand Argentina India Reply 18/05/11 A/HRC/18/51 133
