A/HRC/48/28 based on the evidence obtained and is in the process of filing the case. The Government is in regular contact with the Committee on this matter. 17. Mali 72. During the reporting period, two incidents of intimidation and reprisals were reported to the Human Rights and Protection Division of the Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), allegedly perpetrated by law enforcement personnel and the military, as part of a broader context of violence, 49 threats and intimidation documented by the Division. One victim was a government employee who, in November 2020, was detained for a night following a meeting with MINUSMA and was accused during detention of cooperating with the Mission. Following this incident, the individual suspended collaboration with MINUSMA for five months. Further details are withheld for fear of additional reprisals. 73. In a second incident, on 19 April 2021, a man in Boni (Douentza) received death threats by telephone from a member of the Malian Armed Forces (FAMa), reportedly admonishing him for informing MINUSMA of human rights violations committed by the FAMa. Despite immediate advocacy efforts by MINUSMA with the FAMa hierarchy, the source received a second call on 21 April 2021 from the Malian Gendarmerie in Boni, reiterating the death threat, unless the victim stopped passing information to MINUSMA. 18. Mexico 74. According to information received by OHCHR, the Justice Centre for Peace and Development (CEPAD), an NGO documenting and reporting violations in the state of Jalisco, was the target of harassment, stigmatization, surveillance and on-line attacks since June 2020 following its cooperation with OHCHR in Mexico and the Committee on Enforced Disappearances. The reprisals took place in the context of demonstrations in Guadalajara about the extrajudicial execution of Mr. Giovanni López Ramirez, who was reportedly arrested during the implementation of emergency health measures to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, and who died in detention on 5 May 2020. 75. OHCHR in Mexico, including through the support of civil society organizations such as CEPAD, monitored the demonstrations and expressed concerns to authorities about excessive use of force by the police, and arbitrary arrests, detentions and alleged enforced disappearances between 4 and 6 June 2020.50 CEPAD reported incidents to the Committee on Enforced Disappearances, including one in which a group of protestors were reportedly intercepted, detained without a warrant by men in civilian clothes, had their money and mobile phones confiscated, and taken to the Prosecutor’s Office, to be finally released. 76. Following these events, CEPAD and its staff were reportedly the target of harassment, intimidation, and physical surveillance near their offices. They were reportedly subjected to the wiretapping of their mobile phones, as well as discrediting remarks on and the hacking of Twitter accounts and WhatsApp groups. The attacks were reportedly carried out by security forces or other state authorities in the state of Jalisco. In view of CEPAD’s engagement in the Urgent Action procedure of the Committee on Enforced Disappearances, and reprisal allegations potentially linked to such engagement, the Committee addressed the allegations and raised concerns with the State party in confidential letters sent in June, August and December 2020 through its Rapporteur on Reprisals. OHCHR in Mexico is in contact with relevant authorities. 49 50 S/2021/299, paras. 54–60; A/HRC/46/68, paras 32–33. https://hchr.org.mx/comunicados/la-onu-dh-condena-la-muerte-en-custodia-de-alejandro-giovannilopez-ramirez-en-jalisco/; https://twitter.com/ONUDHmexico/status/1269387302662537217; https://twitter.com/ONUDHmexico/status/1273635185477722112; https://hchr.org.mx/onu_dh_medios/gracias-por-defender-los-derechos-humanos/. 35
