Summary of the allegation transmitted
UKR 5/2015
Ukraine
Freedom of
expression;
Human rights
defenders;
Alleged physical assault of and threats against a human rights defender advocating
for the rights of LGBTI persons. According to the information received, on 14
September 2015, Mr. Nick Carter, was severally beaten by four unidentified men
in Kiev, while being insulted on the basis of his sexual orientation during the
attack. Since May 2015, Mr. Carter had begun to receive serious threats in
connection with his public advocacy for the rights of LGBTI persons in Ukraine.
ITA 5/2015
Italy
Migrants;
Trafficking;
Violence against
women;
Allegations concerning the ongoing repatriation to Nigeria of a group of 68
Nigerian women, possible victims of trafficking in persons currently detained at
the Center for Identification and Expulsion of Ponte Galeria in Rome, Italy.
According to the information received, except for 13 of these women identified as
victims of trafficking, international protection requests for all were rejected. In less
than two months, between 25 and 30 women had been repatriated and the rest are
awaiting imminent deportation. There is concern that the quality of the screening
process conducted by the authorities, the characteristic of the group, the number of
irregular migrants arriving by sea and the hidden/ dangerous aspect of human
trafficking, may have hampered accurate identification of this group and other
potential victims of trafficking during the screening process and their protection
consideration.
