Subject: Weekly Mailing 07/2022 - February 14th

Hello everyone,
 
Please find below a selection of the documents added to AIDAN in the week ended February 11th 2022. 
 
Always protect your personal security and that of your colleagues when publishing indexed documents by ensuring names of individual authors are not available on the web – edit the ‘author’ field to show Amnesty International when saving the final version ready for upload. Such names appear in the metadata of PDFs unless you edit such fields before saving in either Word or PDF format.
 
And always include dates, as well as the index, in documents such as open letters and public statements; these are important points of reference for both recipients and colleagues.
 
If you wish to access AIDAN Search using links in Weekly Mailings, you may find that you first have to open the app at https://oneamnesty.sharepoint.com/sites/APP-AIDANSearch and then copy and paste the link shown in this mailing. AIDAN Search access is only available to those using approved Amnesty accounts.
 
Please do stay safe and well,

Title: Venezuela: Represión calculada: Correlación entre las estigmatizaciones y las detenciones arbitarias por motivos políticos
AI Index: AMR 53/5133/2022
Publish date: 03/02/2022 00:00 GMT
Abstract: En virtud de todas estas evidencias numéricas presentadas en esta investigación, las organizaciones consideran que la dependencia entre la narrativa discriminatoria (estigmatizaciones) y las violaciones a derechos humanos (detenciones arbitrarias y la criminalización) podría indicar la existencia del crimen de lesa humanidad de persecución, por lo que las autoridades venezolanas, incluido al más alto nivel, deben ser investigadas para determinar su responsabilidad penal en estos hechos.

Title: Ethiopia: Summary killings, rape and looting by Tigrayan forces in Amhara
AI Index: AFR 25/5218/2022
Publish date: 16/02/2022 00:00 GMT
Abstract: Tigrayan fighters affiliated with the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) deliberately killed civilians, raped and sexually assaulted women and girls, and looted homes, shops, schools and medical clinics in two localities they controlled for a period of several weeks last year in Ethiopia’s northern Amhara region. Amnesty International is calling on Tigrayan forces to put an immediate end to such violations, and to investigate and remove from its forces anyone suspected of involvement in such crimes. It is also urging the African Union to step up its engagement in the crisis, and the relevant United Nations bodies to send experts to the region to investigate the violations.
