Allegations concerning the deportation of church personnel residing in Amman,
Jordan. According to the information received, Reverend Jody Patrick Miller, an
American national, and his assistant, Mr. Maged Wefki Gergis Hanna, an Egyptian
national, have been residing in Jordan since 1998 and 2000 respectively, under the
sponsorship of the Free Evangelical Church. In recent years, both men have been
working for Grace Church, affiliated with the Free Evangelical Church, providing
humanitarian assistance to Iraqi and Syrian refugees. Grace Church’s activities have
reportedly been closely monitored by the Jordanian General Intelligence Department
(GID). On 23 October 2014, the US Embassy in Jordan informed Reverend Miller of
a complaint received from the GID alleging that he had been distributing bibles
thereby “harming national unity”. On 4 November 2014, he was detained and on 6
November 2014 deported back to the United States of America without any official
reason being provided to him. Subsequently, Mr. Hanna was also informed of his
imminent arrest and deportation; on 9 November 2014 his passport was confiscated by
a GID officer and he was summoned to appear at the GID offices on 13 November
2014.

sommaire d’un militant des droits de l’homme et activiste politique sahraoui. Selon les
informations reçues, M. Hassanna al-Wali a été arrêté le 5 janvier 2012 par les forces
policières marocaines au siège de la police à Dakhla. Le jour suivant, M. al-Wali
aurait été emprisonné et soumis à diverses formes de torture par les forces de sécurité.
Malgré son mauvais état de santé, l’accès à des soins médicaux lui aurait été refusé.
Lorsqu’il a enfin été transféré à un hôpital, M. al-Wali serait tombé dans un coma à la
suite du traitement médical qu’il aurait reçu. M. al-Wali serait décédé trois jours plus
tard. Ces violations feraient partie d’une tendance plus générale de violations
systématiques commises par les autorités marocaines à l’encontre de militants
sahraouis.
