Aprobación de modificaciones a la Ley de Defensa Nacional y Seguridad Interna y
presunto acto intimidatorio por parte de agentes de seguridad del Estado contra
organizaciones que expresaron su oposición a dicha reforma legal. Según los
informes, las modificaciones a dicha ley atentarían contra el principio de separación
de poderes y permitirían al Poder Ejecutivo instalar un estado de excepción de forma
cuasi permanente. Se informa que la Coordinadora de Derechos Humanos del
Paraguay (CODEHUPY) habría entregado una nota a las Bancadas de la Cámara de
Senadores instándoles a votar en contra de las modificaciones. Después de una
manifestación pacífica en la tarde del día en que se aprobó la reforma legislativa,
varias organizaciones habrían sido presuntamente intimidadas por efectivos policiales
durante una reunión que habrían celebrado en el local de CODEHUPY.

Alleged denial of medical treatment. According to the information received, Mr
Hossein Ronaghi Maleki, an internet blogger and political activist, currently serving a
15-years prison sentence, has been on hunger strike since 9 August 2013. He has been
denied proper medical treatment. His mother has also been on hunger strike since 20
August 2013. Mr Maleki’s situation is particularly precarious, as he suffers from
serious kidney illness, bladder inflammation and heart problems, which he developed
during his prolonged solitary confinement and alleged torture. Mr Maleki’s case has
been the subject of a previous communication sent on 6 June 2012 (A/HRC/22/67), to
which the authorities, at the time of transmission of this communication, had not
responded.
