Allegations concerning police violence and harassment against the residents of a
Roma settlement at the outskirts of Moldava nad Bodvou, in eastern Slovakia.
According to the information received, in the night of 15 to 16 June 2013 two
policemen from the Slovak Republic Police reportedly violently and arbitrarily
arrested a 17-year-old male resident of the above mentioned Roma settlement
triggering a strong reaction among the residents, some of whom threw stones at the
police car which lead to another arrest of a man with severe intellectual disabilities.
On 19 June 2013, 60 policemen, of whom 15 were masked, entered the settlement for
a purported search operation which was reported to be a planned retaliatory police raid
following the incident of 15-16 June. Allegedly, in the course of the raid, police beat
several men, women and children with truncheons. At least 30 people were reportedly
injured. Police allegedly systematically destroyed the property of the inhabitants. It is
further alleged that those who had been injured did not receive medical care by local
health services.

Allégations d’assassinat d’un responsable politique. Selon les informations reçues, le
25 juillet 2013, M. Mohamed Brahmi, membre de l’Assemblée nationale constituante,
aurait été tué par balle devant son domicile à Tunis. Il est rapporté qu’il s’agissait du
troisième assassinat de cette nature en moins de dix mois dans le pays. Il est allégué
qu’en dépit des graves crimes survenus au cours des derniers mois en Tunisie, les
autorités n’auraient pas pris des mesures suffisantes pour protéger les militants
politiques et tous ceux qui professent des idées et opinions minoritaires ou dissidentes
dans le pays. De plus, suite aux obsèques de M. Brahmi, de nombreuses
manifestations auraient eu lieu en Tunisie et certaines auraient fait l’objet d’un usage
disproportionné de la force de la police.
