A/HRC/41/41/Add.1 10/2018), the Special Rapporteur listed the unlawful killings of 32 members of farmers’, indigenous and land rights organisations, or their families, including five women and one child, by members of the Armed Forces or paramilitaries, or by people linked to them. The Special Rapporteur stresses the need for full investigations into these killings and for the perpetrators to be brought to justice. The Special Rapporteur further urges the Government of the Philippines to ensure that farmers’, indigenous and land rights organisations are protected from attacks, threats or other forms of harassment and are not targeted for their human rights work, especially in the context of continued, intense counter-insurgency operations. 68. Communications sent to the Government of Indonesia also raised serious concerns over attacks on members of non-governmental organisations in more rural areas. In both of the communications sent (IDN 1/2019 & IDN 4/2019), the victims of attacks were members of environmental organisations campaigning against human rights abuses stemming from mining industries in rural areas of Indonesia. JATAM (Mining Advocacy Network), during the course of its advocacy activities, has campaigned for accountability and compensation in cases of fatal accidents associated with mining pits in East Kalimantan Province. On 5 November 2018, their office in Samarinda city was ransacked by a group of approximately 30 people. Although fortunately no staff were present, the group damaged the office’s window and a motorbike, along with a neighbour’s house. The organisation’s members have also been the subjects of multiple acts of intimidation and harassment in the past. 69. In a similar case, Mr. Murdani, the executive director of Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia (Indonesian Forum for Environment), had allegedly been subjected to repeated threats, including death threats, for his work opposing human rights abuses related to illegal sand mining activities in West Nusa Tenggara Province, however no investigations had been carried out. On 28 January 2019, Mr. Murdani was the victim of an arson attack which set fire to his house while he and his family were sleeping. Although he and his family were able to escape unharmed, the fire caused significant damage to his house. Despite registering a police complaint, investigators made statements to the effect that they were exploring the possibility that the human rights defender had started the fire himself. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Indonesia for the information provided in its response with regards to the investigation which is underway and invites the Government to share the results of this investigation as it proceeds. 70. It is clear from the above-mentioned cases that organisations in rural areas in the region are subject to greater degrees of risk than their urban counterparts as a result of reduced visibility, increased levels of impunity and friction between their work in defence of human rights and more powerful industrial concerns. The Special Rapporteur urges States to pay special attention to such organisations due to their heightened levels of vulnerability, ensuring also that their members are free from threats or acts of violence and other harassment. He also urges States to create an enabling environment for such organisations, including by allowing and helping them to expand their networks in rural areas so as to increase their collective security. 71. The Special Rapporteur raised his concerns with the Government of India regarding raids on the offices of Greenpeace India and Amnesty International India, along with the freezing of both of the organisations’ bank accounts (IND 28/2018). In both cases, the raids conducted on the organisations’ offices related to foreign funding laws which limit certain flows of NGO funding emanating from outside the country. In the case of Greenpeace India, all twelve bank accounts of its subsidiary Greenpeace India Society were frozen due to allegations that it had incorporated and received funding from a commercial entity called Direct Dialogues Initiatives India (DDII), which engages in ethical fundraising and NGO marketing. Greenpeace India was accused by the Enforcement Directorate of violating the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) for accepting funds from abroad through DDII. In Amnesty International India’s case, the Enforcement Directorate accused the organisation of bypassing the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, by receiving funding from abroad after it was denied permission by the Home Ministry to do so. On 22 November 2018, the Karnataka High Court granted Amnesty International India interim relief to use funds collected domestically for specific purposes, however despite this, all 14
