According to the information 20/05/11 received, on 3 March 2011, 14 families residing in former military barracks in the Ingush city of Nazran received requests from local authorities to vacate the barracks within ten days. These families belong to the ethnic Ingush group and were internally displaced following the 1992 conflict between Ossetians and Ingush which destroyed their homes. As a result of the conflict, they had not been able to return home. The local administration had allegedly threatened to call in the police if the families refused to vacate the barracks. Local government authorities had reportedly indicated their intention to evict more people in the region with no alternative accommodation offered. 07/04/11 SAU 3/2011 JUA Saudi Arabia Arbitrary detention; Freedom of expression; Human rights defenders Alleged arrest and detention of human rights defender. According to the information received, on 21 March 2011, Mr. Mohammad Salih al-Bajadi, a 30 year old businessman and co-founder of the Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association (ACPRA), was arrested at his home in Buraidah in the province of al-Qassim, north of Riyadh. He was taken away by uniformed security force agents and individuals in plain clothes, allegedly members of the Ministry of Interior’s General Intelligence. On 20 March 2011, Mr. al-Bajadi had participated in a protest in Riyadh, outside the offices of the Ministry of Interior. Reportedly, he posted messages on Twitter prior to the protest. A number of protesters were allegedly arrested, including some women, who were released after fingerprinting statements confirming that they had attended the protest. The men who took part in the protest had allegedly been held in detention. 07/04/11 UKR 4/2011 AL Ukraine Health Alleged denial of adequate palliative care and medicines. According to the information received, Mr. Oleg Malinovsky suffered from a series of different health conditions that generated severe pain and left him almost immobilized. From August 2008 to March 2009, the local hospital prescribed him morphine, which significantly reduced his pain. In September 2009, Mr. Malinovsky again developed persistent and severe pain that prevented him from engaging in any daily activity. However, the only pain medications Mr. Malinovsky could take were over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), which were insufficiently potent to control his pain. Mr. Malinovsky and his spouse repeatedly asked for adequate pain medication but doctors allegedly refused to provide it. The chief doctor of the Svyatoshinsky clinic held an ad-hoc meeting of physicians on 21 January 2010, during which they concluded that stronger medications should be provided. No action was reportedly taken to this effect. A/HRC/18/51 86 Date Type
