Presuntas amenazas e intento de homicidio contra una periodista y defensora de
derechos humanos. Según la información recibida, el 27 de junio de 2015, la madre
de la periodista y defensora de derechos humanos Sra. Elizabeth Zúñiga habría
recibido amenazas telefónicas exigiendo que su hija “se callara”. El 12 de agosto
de 2015, el coche de la Sra. Elizabeth Zúñiga habría sido saboteado, posiblemente
con la intención de asesinarla. El caso contaría con un precedente preocupante: el
17 de junio de 2015, su colega y colaborador en la investigación de violaciones de
derechos humanos, Sr. Héctor Orlando Martínez Motiño, entonces presidente de la
Sección 6 del Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de
Honduras – SITRAUNAH, fue asesinado pocos meses después de que su coche
sufriera un sabotaje similar. El SITRAUNAH fue objeto de dos comunicaciones
previas enviadas el 7 de octubre de 2008 y el 31 de octubre de 2008, véase
A/HRC/11/4/Add.1, párr. 1040-1051.

Allegations concerning the arrest and detention of a human rights defender for his
role in convening a peaceful assembly and for denouncing corruption cases.
According to the information received, on 28 June 2015, Mr. Narymbaev
participated in and spoke to the media during a peaceful gathering of about 15
people convened in the Republic Square in Almaty in order to express concern
about public services costs. On 3 July 2015, police officers of the Auezov district
arrested Mr. Narymbaev at his home in connection with the events of 28 June.
They subsequently transferred Mr. Narymbaev to the police station of the
Bostandyk district. On 4 July 2015, the judge of the Specialised Inter-District
Administrative Court of Almaty City found Mr. Narymbaev guilty of participating
in an unauthorized assembly in accordance with article 488 of the new Code on
Administrative Offenses and sentenced him to 15 days in detention. On 20 August
2015, Mr. Narymbaev announced on his Facebook page that he intended to
handover a petition denouncing corruption crimes to the authorities that same day.
At 6.30 p.m., the police arrested him under the same legal provision as in July
2015. On 21 August 2015, the judge sentenced Mr. Narymbaev to 20 days of
detention.
