Peruvian authorities in all three branches of government should strive to strengthen the rule of law and the principle of separation of powers in the wake of the political crisis that led to the arrest of former President Pedro Castillo yesterday after he tried to dissolve Congress, take control of the judiciary and declare a state of emergency, the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) said today.
Despite the formal lifting of the “state of emergency” on 25 October 2021, the Emergency State Security Court (ESSC) continues to be used by Egyptian authorities as a tool to crackdown on dissent and the legitimate exercise of human rights fundamental freedoms, the International Commission of Jurists and the Egyptian Commission on Rights and Freedoms (ECRF) said today.
The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ), Amnesty International, the Association for the Prevention of Torture (APT) and the World Organisation against Torture (OMCT) today called on the United States authorities to provide for Guantánamo detainee Ammar al-Baluchi to be medically assessed by an independent medical panel and be provided with the medical treatment and rehabilitative services he needs.
