A/HRC/60/62 persons,” as well as allegations of internet blackouts in Balochistan in response to the activities of BYC activists (PAK 1/2025). 92. According to information received by OHCHR, Ms. Sammi Deen Baloch was released from detention on 1 April 2025 without charges. At the time of writing, Ms. Mahrang Baloch remained in detention at Huda Prison under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance. She is reportedly facing other charges including sedition, murder and terrorism related charges. 93. On 23 July 2025, the Government responded to the note verbale sent in connection to the present report, stating that the allegation of intimidation and reprisals was unfounded. It further asserted that the actions of the relevant authorities were consistent with the law and Pakistan’s obligations under international human rights law, and that domestic remedies remained available and were being applied. The Government also reaffirmed its commitment to freedom of movement and noted that international human rights law permitted restrictions necessary to protect national security, public order, public health or morals or the rights and freedoms of others. 17. Peru 94. During the reporting period, according to information received by OHCHR, Mr. Julio César Rimac Damián, an environmental lawyer and community leader, was the target of an act of intimidation to deter his (further) cooperation with the United Nations on human rights. 95. Reportedly, on 11 September 2024, while returning home in the afternoon, Mr. Rimac was intercepted by an unmarked vehicle driven by armed individuals. Two men reportedly exited the vehicle and threatened him, warning that they would harm him and his family if he continued to speak publicly about the environmental contamination caused by the Antamina mining company. 96. Mr. Rimac had planned to travel to Geneva on 12 September 2024 to engage with special procedures, specifically to raise concerns with the Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation about water pollution linked to Antamina’s mining activities. That same night, following the threats, he travelled to Lima with the intent to continue his journey, but ultimately cancelled his United Nations-related mission out of concern for the safety of his wife and young daughter. 97. As a result of the threats, Mr. Rimac withdrew from his planned cooperation with the United Nations. Mr. Rimac and his family sought temporary refuge and remained away from their home for several days. He held a virtual meeting with staff supporting the Special Rapporteur and with the OHCHR office in Peru. 98. On 15 April 2025, Law No. 32301, entitled “Law Amending the Law on the Creation of the Peruvian Agency for International Cooperation,” was published in the Official Gazette of Peru and entered into force the following day.40 The law amends Law No. 27692, which governs the Peruvian Agency for International Cooperation (APCI). 99. During the reporting period, OHCHR 41 and special procedure mandate holders 42 raised concerns about the law. Mandate holders noted that the law would prevent organisations, including human rights defenders, from advancing national and international advocacy actions43 (OL PER 4/2024). The law could also negatively impact the ability of civil society to engage with international human rights mechanisms, including the United Nations. 40 Reportedly, by 14 July 2025 the regulations of the law will have been developed and adopted enabling its application. 41 https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/04/peru-impact-international-cooperation-law-ngos 42 https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/04/approval-amendments-apci-law-seriously-affectsfreedom-association-peru-un. 43 https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/04/approval-amendments-apci-law-seriously-affectsfreedom-association-peru-un. 32
