First UA 29/24
South Africa : HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDER’S LIFE IN DANGER Nomsa Sizani, a human rights defender and former General Secretary of the Abahlali base Mjondolo (AbM), is facing imminent threats to her life. The threats followed her allegedly questioning government officials who were in the community on 17 March, to speak about a development taking place there. The threats began the next day and have escalated since 23 March, leading to her going into hiding, in fear for her life. Her rights to life, safety and security are under attack and must be seen against a backdrop of a greater pattern of harassment, intimidation, threats, attacks and killings of AbM members and leaders. The South African authorities must promptly, thoroughly, independently, impartially, transparently and effectively investigate the threats made against Nomsa Sizani’s life and take all necessary measures to ensure her protection. |

Kyrgyzstan: RELEASE JOURNALISTS AND MEDIA WORKERS On 16 January, police raided the homes of 11 journalists known for their past and current involvement with “Ayt Ayt Dese” and “Temirov LIVE”, two independent media projects that have investigated allegations of corruption in Kyrgyzstan. They include Makhabat Tazhibek-kyzy, the head of “Temirov LIVE” and Aike Beishekeeva, a 23-year-old factchecker. All 11 were detained for questioning as part of a criminal investigation into alleged “calls for active disobedience […] and for mass riots, as well as calls for violence against citizens” stemming from a video published on social media. They are now formally charged, placed in pre-trial detention and face up to 10 years in prison. Between 12 March and 9 April, six of the journalists were moved from pre-trial detention to house arrest and one was released under supervision, but charges against them were not dropped. Makhabat and Aike and two other journalists remain in custody. |
