A/HRC/39/41 petitioner. Since the decision by the Committee Mr. Asfari’s treatment in detention has reportedly deteriorated. His wife has been denied entry into Morocco on four occasions. On 13 February 2018, Mr. Asfari was placed in solitary confinement until 13 March 2018. On 13 July 2018 the Committee’s Rapporteur on Reprisals and Follow-up wrote to the Government emphasizing the need to refrain from reprisals (G/S0 229/3MAR(8) 606/2014). On 31 July 2018 the Government responded, and the Committee decided to keep the follow-up dialogue on this case open, emphasizing the need for the full implementation of remedies requested. Another meeting was suggested during the Committee’s session from 12 November to 7 December 2018. 19. Myanmar 78. During a briefing by members of the Security Council on their mission to Myanmar, it was reported that Myanmar security forces had threatened Rohingya villages with reprisals if they talked with the Security Council delegation during the visit and told the villagers that those who had done so were being looked for. A Security Council member noted that it was unacceptable that anyone should feel intimidated about speaking with the Council (see S/PV.8255, page 6).13 Reports indicate that Rohingya villagers from Pan Taw Pyin, Rakhine State who met with the delegation on 1 May 2018, have been forced into hiding after being targeted by Myanmar’s security agencies. Tatmadaw, including members of Military Security Affairs, reportedly requested local authorities to submit a list of all the villagers who had spoken with the delegation. While young villagers were interacting with the delegation, members of the military reportedly took video footage of the youth and then chased them and scolded them after the interviews. Villagers who participated in the meeting reportedly fear intimidation, harassment, and arrests. Furthermore, before the Security Council delegation visited Rakhine, authorities in Maungdaw township had reportedly warned the Rohingya in the surrounding villages against telling members of the Security Council anything adverse about the government or security forces. 79. Ms. Yanghee Lee, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, reported to the Human Rights Council in March 2018 that she had received information about violent reprisals committed by the armed forces against civilians who she had met with following her visit to Rakhine State in January 2017 (see A/HRC/37/70, para. 63). These include a killing, beatings, and rape. The Special Rapporteur received credible information that the armed forces attacked a village in Rakhine a couple of days after her 2017 visit as a reprisal against those in the community who spoke to her. The armed forces reportedly gathered the village men and women together, and subjected them to severe mistreatment, beatings and assaults, and in another village, one man was killed. 80. The Governing Body of the ILO reported on 7 February 2018 that it remained concerned about two cases of apparent reprisal against complainants in forced labour cases (see GB.332/INS/8, para. 15).14 The two cases were also raised by the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, in her March 2018 report to the Human Rights Council (see A/HRC/37/70, para. 15). 81. The ILO expressed concern about the detention on 18 August 2017 of Mr. Aung Ko Htwe, who had been forcibly recruited into the army in 2005 at age 14 (see GB.332/INS/8, para. 16). He receives continued protection according to the 2007 agreement between the ILO and Myanmar that gives victims the right to lodge complaints alleging the use of forced labour and to seek redress without “retaliatory action.” 15 In 2009, Mr. Htwe’s family filed a complaint about his underage recruitment with the ILO and, under its agreement of Supplementary Understanding, is entitled to continued protection from reprisals related to his forced recruitment complaint. At the time he was serving a commuted 10-year prison sentence for allegedly being implicated in a murder with two other child soldiers when he was attempting to flee the army in 2007, a case that had been addressed by the ILO to no avail. 13 14 15 GE.18-13325 UN Security Council, Briefing by Security Council mission to Bangladesh and Myanmar (28 April to 2 May 2018), 8255th meeting, S/PV.8255m 14 May 2018.
