Allegations of restrictions to the enjoyment of the rights to freedom of peaceful

participants to the ASEAN Civil Society Conference/ASEAN Peoples‘ Forum
2012 (ACSC/APF) under the theme ―Transforming ASEAN into a People Centered
Community‖. According to the information received, following the approval by the
Ministry of Interior to hold the conference, issued on the eve of the event, the
management of the hotel where the conference was scheduled to take place,

of pictures displayed by a participating NGO from Myanmar on the wall of its
stand in the exhibition hall; the request to submit to the hotel management any
video or picture to be shown during the documentary films screening session; and
the prohibition of four thematic parallel workshops, which were allegedly
considered as ―politically sensitive‖.
