In Dialogue with 🇩🇪 , Experts of the Committee on Enforced Disappearances Commend the State’s Prosecution of International Crimes, Ask About Integration of Law on #EnforcedDisappearance and Protections from Non-Refoulement Mr. de Frouville noted that the State party was hesitant to transpose the Convention into national law, which created an obstacle to the effective implementation of the Convention and encouraged impunity for authors of #EnforcedDisappearance|s.

#Humanrights activists are targeted by the security forces in #Sudan, many of them have been subjected to #enforceddisappearance. All of that thanks to the prevailing influence of #SaudiArabia & the #UAE on the Sudanese govt. Tragic. #humanrights https://tinyurl.com/3bp92f28

#HumanRights defender #IdrisKhattak was subject to #enforceddisappearance.

Despite being a #civilian, he was tried by a #militarycourt and charged with espionage under Pakistan’s Official Secrets Act. In 2021, there were reports that he had been sentenced to 14 years in prison but his family is yet to receive official notification. An appeal has been filed in the #Islamabad High Court. 

In #Pakistan, enforced disappearance is a tool to muzzle criticism of the state.

Canadian woman fears father is in Chinese custody for speaking out on human rights. There has been no word of Dong Guangping's fate since he was arrested Aug. 24 by Vietnamese police | Jim Bronskill, CP/Ottawa Citizen https://nationalpost.com/news/canadian-woman-fears-father-is-in-chinese-custody-for-speaking-out-on-human-rights #China #Vietnam #EnforcedDisappearance

In December 2021, there were reports that he had been sentenced to 14 years in prison but his family is yet to receive any official notification. An appeal has been filed in the Islamabad High Court. 

In #Pakistan, #enforceddisappearance has been used as a tool to muzzle dissent and criticism of the state. Efforts to criminalize the practice and bring perpetrators to justice have stalled, and the practice continues.
