Alegación de una amenaza de muerte contra un sacerdote que trabaja en
proyectos de rehabilitación con ex miembros de pandillas. Según se informa,
el 5 de septiembre de 2012, el sacerdote Antonio Rodríguez López (―padre
Toño‖) habría recibido de una fuente fiable en San Salvador, El Salvador, el
aviso de que existe un complot para asesinarlo. El 7 de septiembre, a eso de
las 11:45 a.m., mientras el sacerdote Antonio Rodríguez López caminaba
hacia su despacho habría observado un coche gris con los cristales oscuros
aparcado a un lado de la calle. El conductor habría bajado su ventanilla y le
habría dicho al sacerdote: ―te van a matar‖. Se le ha impuesto medidas de
emergencia por 10 días a partir del 15 de septiembre mientras se realizan las
investigaciones respectivas. Se alega que una semana antes de las amenazas el
sacerdote Antonio Rodríguez López habría criticado públicamente la actual
tregua alcanzada entre dos pandillas habiendo figurado el sacerdote
Rodríguez, desde hace meses, como una voz crítica a las políticas de
seguridad pública del Estado.

Alleged violation of the right of peoples to self-determination in the context
Summary executions; of Liberian mercenaries‘ attacks on civilians in Côte d‘Ivoire. According to
the information received, Liberian mercenaries have been involved in attacks
against civilians in Côte d‘Ivoire, along the border with Liberia. On 13 April
2011, Liberian authorities captured in eastern Liberia a Liberian mercenary,
Mr X, who allegedly helped to orchestrate two massacres in Côte d‘Ivoire. Mr
X reportedly acknowledged that he was hired as a mercenary to fight in
support of the previous government of Laurent Gbagbo. Despite this
admission, Mr. X was released on bail by the Monrovia Circuit Court on 1
February 2012. In January 2012, Liberian police arrested 73 Ivorians and one
Liberian person identified as a mercenary recruiter near Liberia‘s border with
Côte d‘Ivoire, suspected of planning an attack on Côte d‘Ivoire. Reportedly,
all detainees were released on 20 February 2012. On 24 April 2012, a group
of approximately 20 Ivorian and Liberian men attacked the Ivorian village of
Sakré. Seven civilians were killed, two were injured, several houses were
destroyed and more than 3000 civilians fled to nearby villages. Reportedly,
Ivorian forces managed to capture four Ivorian attackers. In June 2012, seven
UN peacekeepers were killed in Côte d‘Ivoire by unidentified militia fighters
near the Liberian border. It has been alleged that mercenaries were involved
in the attack.
