At its sixty-first session, the Commission on Human Rights, in its resolution 2005/38 entitled ‘The right to freedom of opinion and expression’, appealed to all States to cooperate fully with and assist the Special Rapporteur in the performance of his tasks, and to provide him with all necessary information requested by him. 2. The present report contains, on a country-by-country basis, summaries of general and individual allegations, as well as urgent appeals transmitted to Governments between 1 January and 31 December 2005, as well as replies received during the same period. Observations made by the Special Rapporteur have also been included where applicable. During the period under review, the Special Rapporteur transmitted 490 communications on behalf of 1328 people to the Governments of 96 countries: Afghanistan, Algeria, Argentina, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Bolivia, Brazil, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Chad, Chile, the People’s Republic of China, Colombia, Croatia, Cuba, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Georgia, Ghana, Greece, Guatemala, Guinea, Haiti, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Islamic Republic of Iran, Israel, Italy, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, Kyrgzstan, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Lebanon, Libya, Madagascar, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Mauritania, Mexico, Mongolia, Morocco, Myanmar, Nepal, Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Panamá, Paraguay, Perú, Phillipines, Poland, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, Rwanda, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Serbia and Montenegro, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Slovakia, Somalia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Thailand, Togo, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Viet Nam, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe and UNMIK (Kosovo). 3. Replies to communications received after 31 December 2005 will be included in the Special Rapporteur’s next communication report. Moreover, government replies concerning which translations were not completed by 31 January 2005 will also be included in the Special Rapporteur’s next communication report. 4. Owing to restrictions on the length of documents, the Special Rapporteur has been obliged to reduce considerably details of communications sent and received. Replies from Governments could not be published in their entirety either. 5. The Special Rapporteur has used initials for those victims, including victims of sexual violence, inter alia, he deems could be in a potentially particularly sensitive situation, in order to respect their privacy and to prevent the possibility of further victimization. With a view to preserve the presumption of innocence, the same procedure has been adopted by the Special Rapporteur with regard to the alleged perpetrators. 6. The Special Rapporteur wishes to emphasize that the omission of a particular country or territory should not be interpreted as indicating that there are no problems or concerns regarding the right to freedom of opinion and expression in that country or territory. E/CN.4/2006/55/Add.1 page 6 SUMMARY OF CASES TRANSMITTED AND REPLIES RECEIVED Afghanistan 7. On 6 October 2005, the Special Rapporteur, jointly with the Chairperson-Rapporteur of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on the situation of human rights defenders, sent an urgent appeal concerning Mr. Ali Mohaqiq Nasab, aged 50, editor of the monthly news magazine Haqooq-i-Zan (Women's Rights). According to information received, an Islamic cleric in Kabul filed a complaint to the police against the magazine Haqooq-i-Zan three months before this communication was sent, alleging that it published material “against Islamic teachings”. The complaint referred specifically to two articles published in Haqooq-i-Zan: one criticised the severity of the punishment of 100 lashes for those found guilty of adultery. The other argued that abandonment of Islam could not be considered a crime. On 1 October 2005 Ali Mohaqiq Nasab was arrested

  • Nepal – Without a Parliament and Laws on Torture and Forced Disappearance, the Office of the OHCHR in Nepal Cannot Fulfil Its Work for Human Rights
    December 7, 2005 Ms Louise Arbour High Commissioner for Human Rights OHCHR-UNOG 8-14 Avenue de la Paix 1211 Geneva 10 SWITZERLAND Fax: +41 22 917-9012 Open letter to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to mark International Human Rights Day 2005 Dear Ms. Arbour, Re: Nepal – without a Parliament and laws on torture and forced disappearance, the Office of the OHCHR in Nepal cannot fulfil its work for human rights On the occasion of the December 10, 2005 International Human Rights Day, the Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) wishes to highlight the continuing flagrant abuses being perpetrated in Nepal and request your intervention regarding specific issues. AHRC welcomes the establishment of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Nepal and commends you for your commitment and efforts in brining about this much-needed development. AHRC was involved in efforts to lobby for the establishment of this office and notes with satisfaction that it is now functioning and well staffed. The reported agreement between the CPN-Maoist insurgents and an alliance of seven opposition political parties presents new opportunities for the resolution of the country’s internal conflict through a democratic process. AHRC appreciates the intervention of the High Commissioner in a press release issued on December 1st, 2005, urging the Maoists to extend their unilateral ceasefire (which they have now reportedly done) and respect human rights, and for the Government of King Gyanendra and the security forces to also call a ceasefire and respect the rights to the freedoms of expression and peaceful assembly.

  • 2016 Case List
    FRONT COVER 1 3 PEN INTERNATIONAL CHARTER The PEN Charter is based on resolutions passed at its International Congresses and may be summarised as follows: PEN affirms that: 1. Literature knows no frontiers and must remain common currency among people in spite of political or international upheavals. 2. In all circumstances, and particularly in time of war, works of art, the patrimony of humanity at large, should be left untouched by national or political passion. 3. Members of PEN should at all times use what influence they have in favour of good understanding and mutual respect between nations; they pledge themselves to do their utmost to dispel race, class and national hatreds, and to champion the ideal of one humanity living in peace in one world. 4. PEN stands for the principle of unhampered transmission of thought within each nation and between all nations, and members pledge themselves to oppose any form of suppression of freedom of expression in the country and community to which they belong, as well as throughout the world wherever this is possible. PEN declares for a free press and opposes arbitrary censorship in time of peace. It believes that the necessary advance of the world towards a more highly organised political and economic order renders a free criticism of governments, administrations and institutions imperative. And since freedom implies voluntary restraint, members pledge themselves to oppose such evils of a free press as mendacious publication, deliberate falsehood and distortion of facts for political and personal ends. Membership of PEN is open to all qualified writers, editors and translators who subscribe to these aims, without regard to nationality, ethnic origin, language, colour or religion.

New Media – Old Problems: Online Practices of Media Accountability in Lebanon Judith Pies, Philip Madanat & Christine Elsaeßer Summary Lebanon’s media has been envied for its press freedom and high quality by many Arabs from the region for decades. After 15 years of civil war the media had quickly started to flourish again. Yet, internal and external observers have been concerned about the close links between the media and political and religious groups that have led to highly politicized journalism.

Firstly, most of the prominent activists are removed from public or political life. Almost all of the 88 Generation student movement leadership is in prison preventing them from organising against the elections or educating the people on political issues. Lead members of National League for Democracy party, including democracy icon Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, are imprisoned, as are lead ethnic politicians who promote a peaceful tripartite dialogue and national reconciliation, such Gen Hso Ten and U Khun Tun Oo. Secondly, the harsh sentences handed down and the torture and punishments inflicted on political activists threatens the wider population, sending a clear message: refrain from opposition activities or risk the consequences. The consequences are well known. Unlawful arrest and detention and torture are practiced systematically in Burma and occurred throughout 2009 and 2010. These practices pose an ongoing threat to civilians; ensuring populations live in fear, thereby preventing any politically critical activities. This fear stifles dissent, prevents a vibrant civil society and halts any criticism of the regime; key components of a genuine democratic transition.
