In the draft resolution, at the end of paragraph 3, replace the words "on the basis of alleged charges relating to their work" with the following words:
"allegedly in retaliation for their work."
Explanatory Note :
During 2014, the authorities rounded up the country's best-known civil society leaders and journalists, imprisoning them on politically motivated charges. Charges against those wrongfully imprisoned are not related to their work but the government uses a range of politically motivated charges to incarcerate its critics.
