Alegaciones relativas a amenazas de muerte e intimidaciones contra un defensor
de derechos humanos. Según las informaciones recibidas, el 22 de mayo de 2015,
el Sr. Amílcar de Jesús Pop Ac habría presentado una denuncia ante el Ministerio
Público contra el Presidente de la República por delitos de encubrimiento,
incumplimiento de deberes de funcionario público y asociación ilícita. La denuncia
fue enviada a la Corte Suprema de Justicia que determinó la remisión del antejuicio
al Congreso de la República con el fin de decidir si se levantaba la inmunidad del
Presidente. El 11 de junio de 2015, el Sr. Pop Ac habría recibido información de
que un grupo de personas vinculadas al Poder Ejecutivo se habrían juntado con la
intención de atentar contra su vida. El Sr. Pop Ac fue sujeto de una comunicación
anterior enviada por varios Relatores Especiales fechada el 19 de agosto de 2008,

State of
Palestine
Torture;
Alleged arbitrary arrest and detention, torture and ill-treatment of two Palestinian
brothers. According to the information received, on 23 May 2015, after Mr. X had
received threats over the phone from a member of the Palestinian General
Intelligence Service (GIS), Mr. Y and Mr. Z, his brothers, travelled to his place of
residence, a garage close to the village of Ajja in the West Bank, to assist him.
Shortly after arriving at the garage (where the two brothers told Mr. X to stay
inside) two plain clothed police officers arrived; presumably to help prevent a
potential quarrel. Subsequently, three armed GIS officers arrived and started
shooting in different directions with live ammunition. After attacking one of the
GIS officers, Mr. Z was seized by the police officers and subsequently shot in the
leg. When he escaped and reported the incident at a police station, he was arrested
and handed over to GIS forces. Both, Mr. Y and Mr. Z were arrested, detained and
severely tortured and ill-treated by GIS forces and required treatment in a
government hospital. They were not provided with any medical certificate and,
after their release from detention, subjected to intimidation by a group of members
of the Fatah with the purpose of preventing them from reporting the incidents.
