Violation of Article 3 - Prohibition of torture (Article 3 - Degrading treatment) (Substantive aspect)

Information received updated concerning allegations of the severe environmental, climate and human rights impacts as well as a systematic pattern of oppression and human rights violations against environmental human rights defenders in Uganda in relation with the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) and the Tilenga and Kingfisher Projects. According to the information received these include at least 129 alleged arrests and detentions; the incommunicado detentions and ill-treatment of multiple environmental human rights defenders, including recurrent arrests and detentions; and forced disappearances; the forced eviction of more than 42 communities; and widespread judicial harassment. These attacks and threats appear to be directly related to the legitimate human rights activities of the environmental human rights defenders, especially their defence of the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment. Reports indicate that such alleged pattern of human rights violations has been ongoing since at least 2022 and persists to this date. Alleged victims: 16 More details...
