Nevertheless, the situation of officials, members and the trade union movement in general continues to be grave; the Committee deplores this situation which it considers unacceptable and totally incompatible with the requirements of the Convention. Under these circumstances, the Committee urges the Government to continue to take all the necessary measures to ensure that workers and trade unions can exercise their rights in full in freedom and security.
The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed in that respect. The Committee requests the Government to inform it in detail concerning progress in each of the investigations begun, who the guilty persons were, and, in particular, whether it was a case of specific armed groups and what their motives were. In these circumstances, bearing in mind the time that has elapsed, the Committee urges the Government to inform it without delay whether the trade unionists are still detained, whether the detentions are based on orders issued by the judicial authority and the grounds for those orders and the status of the related judicial proceedings.
The Committee requests the Government to continue to send information on any additional measures adopted in this respect and to keep it informed of developments.
