Alleged forced eviction of up to 20,000 residents of the Abonnema Wharf
Community in Port Harcourt. According to the information received, from 27 12/11/2012
June to 2 July 2012, an estimated 10,000 to 20,000 residents of the Abonnema
Wharf Community in Port Harcourt, capital of Rivers State, were evicted and
their homes destroyed. Allegedly the Rivers State authorities declared that the
eviction was carried out in order to reduce criminal gang activity in the area.
Reportedly, the demolitions were carried out in bad weather and thousands of
people were left homeless as most residents were not offered any
compensation or alternative housing. Allegedly, a negotiation process to offer
compensation to landlords was far from being completed when the eviction
took place and an interim injunction order issued on 11 November 2011 by
the Rivers State High Court had called upon the Rivers State authorities not to
carry out demolitions and evictions in Abonnema Wharf pending a full
hearing of the case.

Alegaciones recibidas sobre la Ley Peruana No. 29737, que presuntamente
permite la detención involuntaria de las personas "con problemas de salud
mental". Según la información recibida, en julio de 2011 entró en vigor la Ley
No. 29737, que permite el internamiento involuntario y el tratamiento
obligatorio para las personas que sufran de farmacodependencia o
alcoholismo. Conforme a las alegaciones, alrededor del ochenta por ciento de
las instituciones dedicadas a dicho fin no tienen licencia ni cuentan con
personal calificado. De igual forma, supuestamente dos incendios ocurridos el
28 de enero y el 5 de mayo de 2012 habrían resultado en la muerte de 29 y 14
personas, respectivamente, quienes por estar retenidos por la fuerza en dichos
centros, no pudieron escapar de los incendios.
