A/HRC/39/45 23. The Government of Egypt, in its note verbale dated 3 October 2017, conveyed information provided by the Ministry of Justice in relation to Omar Abdulrahman Ahmed Youssef Mabrouk. Mr. Mabrouk remains in detention and his case is before the judiciary (opinion No. 60/2016). 24. In a note verbale dated 19 December 2017, the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran advised that Zainab Jalalian was currently serving her life sentence in Khoy Prison and that her legal rights were fully being respected (opinion No. 1/2016). 6. Requests for review of opinions adopted 25. The Working Group considered the requests for review of the following opinions: • Opinion No. 38/2013 (Cameroon), concerning Michel Thierry Atangana Abega, adopted on 13 November 2013 • Opinion No. 28/2016 (Islamic Republic of Iran), concerning Nazarin ZaghariRatcliffe, adopted on 23 August 2016 • Opinion No. 57/2016 (Peru), concerning Edith Vilma Huaman, adopted on 25 November 2016 • Opinion No. 39/2017 (Burkina Faso), concerning Djibril Yipene Bassole, adopted on 28 April 2017 26. After examining the requests for review in relation to its opinions Nos. 28/2016, 57/2016 and 39/2017, the Working Group decided to maintain those opinions, on the basis that none of the requests met the criteria outlined in paragraph 21 of its methods of work. The request for review of opinion No. 38/2013 is still under consideration by the Working Group. 7. Reprisal against subjects of the opinions of the Working Group 27. The Working Group notes with grave concern that it continues to receive information, including in the context of its follow-up procedure, on reprisals suffered by individuals who have been the subject of an urgent appeal or an opinion or whose cases have given effect to a recommendation of the Working Group. Such acts of alleged reprisal include placement in solitary confinement, harsh prison conditions, threats and harassment against the individual and/or his or her family members, and accusatory articles in the progovernment media. With this in mind, the Working Group, at its seventy-eighth session, appointed a focal point on reprisals. 28. In relation to the present reporting period, the Working Group has received allegations of reprisals against Salim Abdullah Hussain Abu Abdullah (opinion No. 10/2017, Saudi Arabia), Mohamad Ismat Mohamad Shaker Az (opinion No. 21/2017, United Arab Emirates), Nguyen Ngoc Nhu Quynh (opinion No. 27/2017, Viet Nam), Kursat Çevik (opinion No. 38/2017, Turkey) and Zaheer Seepersad (opinion No. 68/2017, Trinidad and Tobago). 29. In addition, the Working Group remains concerned regarding the continued detention under house arrest of María Lourdes Afiuni Mora, the subject of its opinion No. 20/2010. The Working Group considers her detention as a measure of reprisal, and it reiterates its calls on the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to release her immediately and provide her with effective and adequate reparations. 30. The Working Group has decided to refer reported cases of reprisal, as appropriate and when such referrals have not already been made, to the Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights, who is leading the efforts of the United Nations to put an end to intimidation and reprisals against those cooperating with it on human rights. 31. In its resolutions 12/2 and 24/24, the Human Rights Council called upon Governments to prevent and refrain from all acts of intimidation or reprisal against those who seek to cooperate or have cooperated with the United Nations and its representatives and mechanisms in the field of human rights, or who have provided testimony or 22
