34 Date Type 28/12/2012 AL Case No Country Mandate(s) Summary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> allegation transmitted Reply MEX 36/2012 México Indigenous peoples; Alegaciones de posibles impactos negativos sobre los derechos humanos del pueblo indígena ikojts (o huave) a raíz de la construcción de un parque eólico en San Dionisio del Mar, Oaxaca. Según la información recibida, en años recientes, el Gobierno federal mexicano y el gobierno estatal de Oaxaca han promovido un proyecto eólico que afectaría las tierras tradicionales de la comunidad de San Dionisio del Mar y de las demás comunidades que conforman el pueblo ikojts, las cuales son formalmente reconocidas como tierras comunales bajo el régimen agrario nacional. Se alega que el proyecto eólico en San Dionisio del Mar no fue debidamente autorizado por la asamblea comunitaria, la cual es la principal entidad representativa compuesta por miembros de la comunidad. La principal preocupación expresada por miembros del pueblo ikojts en relación con el proyecto eólico gira en torno a los posibles impactos ambientales que generaría la construcción del proyecto eólico sobre el mar, las lagunas, las áreas costeras y los manglares de los que dependen para sus actividades tradicionales de pesca a lo largo del Golfo de Tehuantepec y el complejo lagunar Huave. 29/01/2013 A/<strong>HRC</strong>/<strong>23</strong>/<strong>51</strong> 28/12/2012 JUA PHL 7/2012 Philippines Freedom <strong>of</strong> expression; Freedom <strong>of</strong> peaceful assembly and <strong>of</strong> association; Human rights defenders; Indigenous peoples; Summary executions; Violence against women; Alleged continued wave <strong>of</strong> harassment, stigmatization, threats, and killings <strong>of</strong> human rights defenders, in particular environmental and indigenous rights defenders, many <strong>of</strong> whom are women human rights defenders and indigenous leaders.

Date Type 28/12/2012 JUA 02/01/2013 UA Case No Country Mandate(s) Summary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> allegation transmitted Reply TUN 7/2012 Tunisie CAN 3/2012 Canada Arbitrary detention; Independence <strong>of</strong> judges and lawyers; Indigenous peoples; Allégation de détention arbitraire. Selon les informations reçues, le 24 août 2012, la chambre d‘accusation de la cour d‘appel de Tunis a mis M. Sami Fehri en examen pour de supposées malversations. M. Fehri a par la suite été inculpé pour détournement de fonds publics. Il serait détenu depuis le 28 août 2012 à la prison de Mornaguia, près de Tunis. Le 28 novembre 2012, la cour de cassation, la plus haute juridiction de Tunisie, a émis une décision ordonnant de casser la mise en examen de M. Fehri et de renvoyer l‘affaire devant la chambre d‘accusation. Les autorités pénitentiaires ayant refusé de libérer M. Fehri, ses avocats ont demandé à la cour de cassation de clarifier sa décision. Le 5 décembre 2012, la cour de cassation a émis une décision précisant que le mandat d‘arrêt faisait bien partie de la décision cassée par la cour. Malgré les décisions de la cour de cassation, M. Fehri se trouverait toujours en détention à la prison de Mornaguia. Alleged hunger strike carried out by <strong>the</strong> Chief <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Attawapiskat First Nation in protest <strong>of</strong> recent legislative developments as well as <strong>the</strong> social and economic conditions affecting indigenous peoples in Canada. According to <strong>the</strong> information received, Chief Theresa Spence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Attawapiskat First Nation initiated a hunger strike on 11 December 2012 in Parliament Hill in Ottawa in order to protest recent legislative actions alleged to negatively impact indigenous peoples, alleged violations <strong>of</strong> treaty rights, and ongoing critical social and economic conditions in Attawapiskat and o<strong>the</strong>r aboriginal communities in Canada. Various demonstrations by indigenous peoples in Ottawa and o<strong>the</strong>r parts <strong>of</strong> Canada have also been carried out. The hunger strike and protests have been prompted in part by a federal omnibus budget implementation bill introduced by <strong>the</strong> Prime Minister, <strong>the</strong> ―Jobs and Growth Act, 2012‖ (Bill C-45), which was recently passed by <strong>the</strong> Canadian parliament in December 2012. The Attawapiskat First Nation was <strong>the</strong> subject <strong>of</strong> earlier communications (see A/<strong>HRC</strong>/20/30, case no CAN 3/ 2011 and A/<strong>HRC</strong>/21/49, case no CAN 2/2012). 08/02/2013 01/02/2013 04/02/2013 A/<strong>HRC</strong>/<strong>23</strong>/<strong>51</strong> 35
