A/HRC/19/58 Standard procedure 51. The Working Group transmitted 37 newly-reported cases to the Government. The majority of these cases concerned persons who allegedly disappeared between 1994 and 1995, in Jijel. Most disappearances are attributed to the military and the National Gendarmerie.4 Information from the Government 52. The Government transmitted three communications dated 1 December 2010, and 29 March and 4 November 2011. The first includes a reply to a prompt intervention letter sent on 24 August 2010. In the second communication, the Government provided information on 11 outstanding cases. The information provided was considered insufficient to lead to their clarification. The third one was handed to the Working Group during its ninety-fifth session and was connected to outstanding cases. The information could not be processed in time for inclusion in the present report. Information from sources 53. Information was received from sources concerning 12 outstanding cases. Prompt intervention 54. On 1 December 2010, the Government replied to a prompt intervention letter sent jointly with three other Special Procedures mechanisms on 24 August 2010, concerning reports of a prohibition imposed on mothers of disappeared persons to assemble peacefully on 4, 11 and 18 August 2010, and the alleged repression suffered by the mothers and others demonstrating on 11 August 2010. In its communication, the Government indicated that during the gathering of 11 August 2010, four aggressive individuals were arrested by the police for usual checks without using violence. The Government stressed that Security Services have not, at any moment, repressed the gatherings of the mothers of the disappeared and that the intervention of the police officers was limited to the application of legal means in their capacity as public forces vested with the mission to restore order in the framework of the legislation in force. The Government indicated that it has discharged its obligations with a certain firmness, but with much skill and tact in particular regarding women and elderly people. 55. The Government highlighted that the control of the demonstration was not handled by the Republican Security Unit, equipped for this kind of interventions, but by the public security services, including many female officers, thus ensuring a soft approach towards the demonstrators. The Government added that no complaint was submitted by the demonstrators and that nobody required medical assistance. In addition, the Government stressed that the people submitting the allegations, of the pseudo association ―SOS Disparus‖, entity with no legal status, aim at harming the reputation of the security services and try to foster their ―cause‖, in decline after the enactment of the Charter for Peace and National Reconciliation. 56. Finally, the Government highlighted that the legal basis to prohibit the gatherings of the families of the disappeared in front of the offices of the National Human Rights Commission is based on the law 91-19, of 2 December 1991, relating to public meetings and demonstrations, in particular its article 19, that stipulates that ―Every demonstration carried out without prior declaration … is considered an illegal gathering (attroupement).‖ 4 18 See annex V for the list of names of the newly-reported cases of disappeared persons.
