30/07/2015 JAL 30/07/2015 JAL Case No Country Mandate(s) Summary of the allegation transmitted KGZ 2/2015 Kyrgyz Republic Freedom of expression; Freedom of peaceful assembly and of association; Human rights defenders; Allegations of increased targeting of human rights defenders and civil society organizations, by both State and non-State actors, including in the context of retrogressive draft legislations and amendments. According to the information received, in April 2015, Mr. Dmitry Kabak, President of the Open Viewpoint Public Foundation, was subjected to actions of harassment and targeting by public officials and offices, restricting his right to privacy and interfering with his legitimate human rights work. Furthermore, two human rights lawyers, Mr. Khusanbay and Mr. Valerian Vakhitow, were allegedly subject to searches and seizure of documents without warrant or undergoing investigation. The Human Rights Advocacy Center was subject to an investigation after conducting a survey on the protection of vulnerable groups. On 3 April 2015 the office of Labrys, a non-governmental organization working to protect the rights of LGBTI persons, was subjected to attempted arson by two unidentified men with bottles of explosives. The representative office of Human Rights Watch in Bishtek was refused renewal of the work permit of one of its employees without written explanation. Grave concern is expressed at the increasingly difficult environment for human rights defenders and civil society and that this may further be aggravated by the proposed restrictive draft legislations limiting propaganda on non-traditional sexual relations and on foreign agents. PER 2/2015 Peru Freedom of expression; Freedom of peaceful assembly and of association; Human rights defenders; Presunta vulneración del derecho a la libre asociación mediante la adopción de las Resoluciones Directorales Ejecutivas (RDE) No. 085-2015-DE y 097-2015/APCIDE de la Agencia Peruana de Cooperación Internacional (APCI). Según las informaciones recibidas, las RDE No. 085-2015-DE y 097-2015/APCI-DE adoptadas el 11 de mayo de 2015 y el 16 de junio de 2015, respectivamente, presupondrían un indebido control de las autoridades sobre las asociaciones que operan en el país. Fuentes indican que la nueva definición de “supervisión”, así como las condiciones para la renovación del registro por parte de la APCI de las Organizaciones No Gubernamentales para el Desarrollo y de las Entidades e Instituciones Extranjeras de Cooperación Internacional son el resultado de una política que buscaría controlar y restringir el margen de acción de grupos con creencias u opiniones disidentes de la sociedad civil.
