Según las informaciones recibidas, el 26 de enero de 2016, la Asamblea Nacional de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela declaró una crisis humanitaria en salud por la grave escasez de medicamentos, insumos médicos y creciente deterioro de la infraestructura sanitaria. La persistencia de esta situación seguiría impactando gravemente en el derecho a la salud de la población, ocasionando incluso la muerte de personas con enfermedades crónicas por la falta de condiciones mínimas de atención y medicamentos esenciales en la red pública nacional de salud. El desabastecimiento de insumos y medicamentos ha sido objeto de comunicaciones anteriores enviadas el 9 de abril de 2014, ver A/HRC/27/72, caso no.

JOR 1/2016 Jordan Arbitrary detention; Freedom of expression; Torture; Alleged arbitrary arrest, detention and conviction of a university professor for exercising his right to freedom of opinion and expression online. According to the information received, on 10 June 2015, Dr. Eyad Qunaibi posted an article on his Facebook page. He was subsequently summoned several times for interrogation by the General Intelligence Directorate, and, on 15 June 2015, he was arrested and detained. On 7 December 2015, Dr. Qunaibi was convicted of “undermining the political regime in the Kingdom or incitement against it” and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment. He is currently serving his sentence and concerns are expressed at his conditions of detention, in particular the use of solitary confinement, which may amount to torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
