16/03/2016 JUA Case No Country Mandate(s) PAK 6/2016 Pakistan Health; Human rights defenders; Summary executions; Summary of the allegation transmitted Allegations of threats and a subsequent attempted assassination of a human rights defender and transgender activist, as well as discriminatory conduct of hospital staff members towards her. According to the information received, on 5 January 2016, Adnany was shot and critically injured by two persons on a motorcycle, who aimed at the car she was traveling in near the Pir Zakori Bridge in the city of Peshawar. Adnany identified the two alleged perpetrators, both of whom had reportedly threatened her numerous times in the months prior to the attack. Adnany was subsequently brought to Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar, where she was initially denied treatment by several doctors due to her transgender identity. After 3 hours of delay, she was operated on to remove the bullet. After these events Adnany lodged a complaint with the Chamkani Police, however, at the time of writing, the police had failed to make any arrest and were allegedly instead putting pressure on her to reconcile with her attackers. Concern is expressed that the alleged threats, assassination attempt and initial denial of medical treatment are related to Adnany’s activities in defence of rights of transgender persons and her own gender identity.
