A/HRC/32/36/Add.3 liberté d’association et de réunion pacifique dans un environnement favorable leur permettant de mener à bien leurs activités sans risque d’être exposés à des menaces, représailles, intimidations ou actes de harcèlement. Sierra Leone 105. JAL 17/12/2015. Case no. SLE 2/2015. State reply: None. Allegations of systemic judicial harassment of land rights defenders. Observations Response to communication 106. The Special Rapporteur regrets that, to date, no reply has been received to his communication SLE 2/2015. He recalls that responses to his communications are an important part of the cooperation of the Government of Sierra Leone with his mandate, and urges the authorities to comply with Human Rights Council resolutions on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association. These resolutions, including resolution 24/5 (2013), call on States to cooperate fully with and assist him in the performance of his mandate and to respond promptly to his communications. 107. The Special rapporteur reiterates his concern at the alleged systematic persecution of members of Malen Land Owners and Users Association (MALOA) through judicial harassment in relation to their legitimate land rights advocacy in the Malen region, exercising their right to freedom of expression and association. 108. He insists on urging that all necessary measures be taken to ensure that abovementioned land rights defenders and supporters of MALOA are provided with all the due process guarantees of a fair trial, preventing their prosecutions serving, in practice, to stifle the legitimate exercise of their rights to freedom of expression and association, in performing their human rights advocacy work in relation to land rights. 109. He reminds the Government of its obligation to respect and protect fundamental human rights, including the right of all individuals to freely associate. He underlines that this right involves the positive obligation to establish an enabling environment for members of associations to perform their activities without fear from threats or acts of intimidation and harassment of any sort.
