The Philippines: Release of Senator Leila de Lima urged on the one-year anniversary of her detention

February 23, 2018

The Observatory condemns Philippine Senator Leila de Lima’s arbitrary and politically motivated detention, and calls for her immediate release and for all charges against her to be dropped. Tomorrow will mark one year since Senator de Lima, a critic of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, was detained on unsubstantiated drug charges.

“Senator de Lima’s arbitrary detention is aimed at silencing her and intimidating other lawmakers and government critics from speaking out against the brutal killings that have been carried out as part of President Duterte’s ‘war on drugs.’ She should be immediately released and all charges against her dropped,” said FIDH Secretary-General Debbie Stothard.

On February 24, 2017, Ms. Leila de Lima handed herself in to police, a week after the Department of Justice filed three charges against her under the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act, and a day after a Manila court issued a warrant for her arrest. The charges were related to de Lima’s alleged involvement in a drug trafficking ring inside the New Bilibid Prison in Metro Manila’s Muntinlupa City, while she was Department of Justice Secretary. If convicted, de Lima could face between 12 years and life in prison.

De Lima has been a staunch critic of President Duterte’s approach to combatting crimes and drug trafficking. In 2009, as Chair of the Philippine Commission on Human Rights (CHR), she initiated a probe into Duterte’s involvement in the ‘Davao Death Squad’ during his time as mayor of Davao City. In August 2016, as Chair of the Senate Committee on Justice and Human Rights, de Lima convened hearings on the hundreds of killings that had been carried out as part of President Duterte’s ‘war on drugs.’ On September 19, 2016, a group of Senators voted to replace de Lima as Chair of the Committee, effectively shutting down the hearings.

President Duterte has repeatedly targeted de Lima. Prior to her imprisonment, he had pledged to “destroy her in public.” He also made personal attacks against her, accusing de Lima of “immorality” for allegedly having had an affair with her driver.

Azerbaijan: YALCHIN IMANOV SUSPENDED FROM PRACTISING PENDING TRIAL

February 22, 2018

On 21 February 2018, the preliminary hearing of Yalchin Imanov was concluded in the Ganja City Administrative – Economic Court.

On 20 November 2017, Azerbaijan’s Bar Association suspended human rights lawyer Yalchin Imanov from practising law, pending a court ruling, following a complaint from the Penitentiary Service of Azerbaijan. On 10 August 2017, the Deputy Chairman of the Penitentiary Service of Azerbaijan stated, in a letter of complaint to Azerbaijan’s Bar Association, that Yalchin Imanov had been circulating false information through the press. The complaint refers to the human rights defender allegedly disseminating false information regarding allegations of torture of two of his clients in detention. Yalchin Imanov was also accused of creating negative public opinion of the work of the Prison Service.

At the hearing, the human rights lawyer emphasised that the Administrative Procedure Code did not contain any relevant provisions for a hearing on the decision of the Bar Association and therefore an administrative court is not the correct forum for a hearing on his case.
