Presuntas violaciones de los derechos humanos a la vivienda, al agua y al
saneamiento, a la salud, a la educación y a la alimentación de miembros de una
comunidad romaní. Según la información recibida, desde 2005, unas 435 personas,
habitantes de un asentamiento informal conocido como “El Gallinero” en Madrid,
viven en condiciones precarias y de insalubridad. Las viviendas tendrían un acceso
limitado a la electricidad y al agua potable; y carecerían de servicios de
saneamiento y de recolección de basura adecuados. Los riesgos graves de salud y
contaminación ambiental podrían ser la causa de varios casos de diarreas y
deshidratación en niños pequeños. Debido a razones administrativas relacionadas
con el empadronamiento o la situación irregular de las familias, los habitantes
también tendrían un acceso limitado a medicamentos o servicios de salud, a
servicios educativos y a ayudas económicas para la alimentación.

Allegations of travel bans issued against four human rights defenders in reprisal for
their cooperation with the United Nations human rights mechanisms and in relation
to the exercise of their right to freedom of opinion and expression. According to
the information received, on 28 March 2016, an officer from the National
Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) prevented Ms. Sawsan Hassan
Elshowaya, and Dr. Muawia Shaddad, from traveling from Sudan to Geneva,
where they were due to participate in meetings related to the second Universal
Periodic Review of Sudan. On 25 March 2016, Mr. Faisal Mohamed Salih was
prevented from traveling from Khartoum International Airport to London by NISS
and his passport subsequently confiscated. On 23 March 2016, Mr. Sidig Yousif
was prevented from travelling from Khartoum International Airport to Geneva by
NISS. All four human rights defenders had their passports confiscated and were
informed that travel bans had been issued against them. Their passports were
returned to them in April 2016. Mr. Yousif was the subject of a previous
communication sent on 17 October 2013, see A/HRC/25/74, case no. SDN 7/2013.
