A/HRC/7/45 page 7 According to the Government, the allegations put forward by the Special Representative were erroneous and that those involved should have contacted the Lieutenant Colonel for damages or contacted and filed a report with the police and not with the Office of the High Commissioner. 13. On 28 August 2007, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on the situation of human rights defenders sent an urgent appeal to the Government of Indonesia in relation to the situation of Mr. Yan Christian Warinussy, Director of Institute of Research, Analysis and Development of Legal Aid (LP3BH) of Manokwari - West Irian Jaya. Mr. Warinussy had been the subject of an urgent appeal by the Special Representative on 11 July 2007, as summarized above (see paragraph 8). According to the information received, since 29 July, Mr. Warinussy had received threatening text messages on his mobile phone linking his human rights work to the separatist movement in West Papua. On 15 August, a car reportedly followed Mr. Warinussy and parked outside the office of the Institute for Investigation, Research and Human Rights where Mr. Warinussy entered. It is believed that one of the occupants of the car was a detective with the Manokwari Regional Police. The Special Rapporteur reiterated her serious concern that the harassment of Mr. Warinussy may be solely related to the meeting he had with her. 3. Philippines 14. On 28 March 2007, the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions condemned the killing of Siche B. Gandinao. On 10 March 2007, Ms. Gandinao was shot dead by a gunman in Salay, Misamis Oriental. Ms. Gandinao had been a witness to the killing of her father-in-law, Dalmacio Gandinao. Ms. Gandinao met the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions during his visit to the Philippines in February 2007, and a non-governmental organization, Karapatan, had submitted Ms. Gandinao’s written testimony concerning the killing of her father-in-law to the Special Rapporteur. The Special Rapporteur denounced as cynical the response of the military regarding this case which stated that Ms. Gandinao was an asset of an armed opposition group and thus had been killed by her own supporters. 4. Russian Federation 15. On 9 February 2007, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on the situation of human rights defenders sent a letter of allegation to the Russian Government in relation to the situation of Karinna Moskalenko, a human rights lawyer and Commissioner of the International Commission of Jurists.
