defenders;
Alleged arbitrary deportation of an environmental civil society activist in relation
to the exercise of his rights to freedom of opinion and expression. According to the
information received, Mr Eugene Simonov is an environmental activist and a
representative of Rivers without Boundaries. It is reported that, when exiting
Mongolia to China through the Zamyn Uud border-crossing on 12 August 2014, he
received a black stamp in his passport marked “Deported from Mongolia for 10
years till August 12, 2024” without any notification. Serious concern is expressed
that his deportation may be linked to his work as a defender of environmental
rights and his non-governmental organization investigations into plans by the
Government, with funding from the World Bank, to build a cascade of hydro-dams
and water transfer projects in Lake Baikal transboundary basin.
