A/HRC/34/43 organization of municipal and local elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission, respect for the constitutional principle of the neutrality of the public administration, the identification and prosecution of the perpetrators of the violence committed during opposition protests over the 2013 legislative elections, compensation for the victims of that violence, the establishment of the Supreme Court and the release of arrested and imprisoned persons. 11. As a result of that dialogue, the Presidential camp and the opposition agreed on all of the agenda items and signed a comprehensive agreement intended to bring the crisis to an end. The agreement was signed in the presence of representatives from the international community, including the United Nations, the European Union, the International Organization of la Francophonie, the Economic Community of West African States, the ambassador of the United States of America, the ambassador of France and Guinean civil society, as observers. The conclusion of the agreement, which is to be submitted to the National Assembly for adoption, has defused the political situation and brought an end to the street demonstrations that had become a source of violence and human rights violations. III. Situation of human rights A. Violations committed in the context of public protests 12. The right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association is guaranteed by article 20 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 21 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and article 10 of the Guinean Constitution. 13. Unlike the previous year, few violent confrontations linked to political demands were observed. However, on 16 August, following a political protest organized by the opposition, a man was killed by a bullet allegedly fired by a police officer from a special mobile intervention unit. The victim was hit in the neck while on the balcony of his apartment. Three other persons were also injured: a 2-year-old child; a woman, who suffered a leg injury; and a 20-year-old man, who was riding a motorcycle at the scene of the incident, which took place in the Bambeto area of Conakry. All of the victims claimed to have been injured by law enforcement. The police officer suspected of firing the shot that caused the death was arrested and placed in detention. The shot was fired when police officers were attempting to prevent a group of youths from barricading the road on their return from the protest. 14. On 19 April, law enforcement agencies in the commune of Kaloum prevented a march by female members of the opposition who were demanding the release of members of the UFGD opposition party who had been placed in pretrial detention following the fatal shooting of a journalist at their party’s headquarters. The protesters lodged a complaint of violation of the right to freedom of demonstration against three police officers and gendarmes, who were leading the operations, given that they had met all of the relevant legal requirements. B. Right to physical and psychological integrity 15. The right to physical and psychological integrity is guaranteed under article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and article 6 of the Guinean Constitution. 16. Respect for the right to physical and psychological integrity by defence and security forces remains a cause for concern, particularly with regard to criminal suspects. The 4 GE.17-00658
