Presuntas alegaciones de robo en las oficinas de una organización de derechos
LGBTI. Según las informaciones recibidas, el 29 de septiembre de 2014, durante la
noche, tres desconocidos entraron en la oficina de la Asociación para una Vida Mejor
(APUVIMEH), una organización que trabaja sobre derechos LGBTI y la prevención
del VIH/SIDA. Los perpetradores habrían robado unas computadoras que contenían
documentos confidenciales del trabajo de la organización. Cuando las autoridades
llegaron a la oficina, no disponían de polvo para la toma de huellas dactilares y no
habrían requisado las imágenes de las cámaras de seguridad. Hasta la fecha, la
investigación no habría avanzado. APUVIMEH ha sido objeto de dos comunicaciones
anteriores con fecha de 29 de agosto de 2013, véase A/HRC/25/74, caso no. HND
5/2013; y el 20 de enero de 2014, véase A/HRC/26/21, caso no. HND 1/2014.

Alleged arbitrary arrest and incommunicado detention of a human rights defender and
a political activist. According to the information received, on 3 December 2014, Dr.
Amin Mekki Medani, the President of Sudan’s Confederation of Civil Society
Organisations, and Mr. Farouk Abu Eissa, the Chairman of National Consensus
Forces, co-signed the “Sudan Call: A Political Declaration on the Establishment of a
State of Citizenship and Democracy”. On 6 December 2014, both men were arrested
at their homes by seven men in plain clothes who are believed to be members of
Sudan’s National and Intelligence Security Service (NISS). Both men have high blood
pressure and are diabetic, for which they take regular medications. Dr. Medani also
suffers from heart problems. However, they were not able to bring their medication
with them during their arrests. Both men are currently in incommunicado detention
and their families and lawyers have not been able to see them.
