Alleged denial of appropriate health care and discrimination against a drug user living 24/10/2013
with HIV and Hepatitis C. According to the information received, Ms X was allegedly
pressured into having an abortion on 10 June 2011 by her gynaecologist. On 4 July
2011, Ms X decided not to undergo the abortion. On 2 August 2011, she was admitted
to a drug treatment centre after overdosing on 11 July. Ms X was allegedly forced to
leave the clinic on 11 August 2011 since the doctor considered her to be healthy.
Following severe abdominal pain, she gave birth through caesarean to a healthy infant
on 28 August 2011. On 20 August 2012, Ms X filed an official complaint with the
Ministry of Health. She received a reply on 10 December stating that the medical care
provided to her was in full compliance with Russian legislation. Ms X filed a
complaint with the district court, on 29 December, alleging that her right to health, to
be free from discrimination and ill-treatment had been violated. The court rejected her
complaint and, on 11 March 2013, Ms X appealed to the regional court, which
eventually upheld the decisions of the previous court.

Allégations de violations flagrantes et systématiques des droits de l’homme en
République centrafricaine. Selon les informations reçues, depuis les événements du 24
mars 2013 qui ont conduit la coalition Séléka au pouvoir, il y aurait une aggravation
de la situation des droits de l’homme. Des exactions auraient été commises sur les
populations civiles, sur l’ensemble du territoire. De nombreux cas d’assassinat, de
torture, de violence sexuelle envers les femmes et les filles, de disparitions forcées, de
« justice populaire » ainsi que de pillages systématiques ont été portés à l’attention des
Procédures Spéciales. Ceux-ci suggèrent un climat d’insécurité généralisé, l’absence
d’état de droit et une impunité favorisant des abus graves et systématiques, qui
seraient majoritairement commis par des groupes armés affiliés à la coalition Séléka.
