Alleged discriminatory consequences and negative impact on the peaceful and
legitimate work of human rights defenders of the draft Bill “On the formation of a
positive attitude toward non-traditional forms of sexual relations”. According to the
information received, on 26 March 2014, the Bill was submitted for public consultation
until 26 April 2014. The Bill was then ‘suspended’ for procedural reasons, but was still
undergoing evaluations within the relevant departments of the Kyrgyz Republic’s
Parliament. If adopted, the Bill would amend the Criminal Code, the Code of
Administrative Responsibility, the Law on Peaceful Assembly, and the Law on Mass
Media, and introduce a range of criminal and administrative sanctions on persons who
speak or act in a way that creates “a positive attitude toward non-traditional sexual
orientation”. Concern is expressed at the detrimental effect of the Bill on the peaceful
and legitimate work of human rights defenders in the Kyrgyz Republic who are working
to protect and promote the rights of the LGBT community.

Alleged attempted killing and intimidation of a human rights defender. According to the 09/10/2014
information received, Ms. Nurainee Uma, a paralegal at the Muslim Attorney Center
Foundation (MAC), was shot at by two unidentified individuals on a motorcycle. She
managed to escape unharmed and reportedly filed a complaint at the Muang Yala police
station the same evening. The following day, the police visited the scene of the
attempted murder; however no further investigation of her case has taken place. Since
Ms. Nurainee Uma started working for MAC in 2007, military officers have allegedly
intimidated her and searched her house on a number of occasions. Grave concern is
expressed that the attempted killing and intimidation of Ms. Nurainee Uma might be
linked to her work documenting human rights violations in Thailand.
