3 4. That Article 63(2) of the Convention provides that: [i]n cases of extreme gravity and urgency, and when necessary to avoid irreparable damage to persons, the Court shall adopt such provisional measures as it deems pertinent in matters it has under consideration. With respect to a case not yet submitted to the Court, it may act at the request of the Commission. 5. That according to Article 25(1) of the Rules of Procedure of the Court: [a]t any stage of the proceedings involving cases of extreme gravity and urgency, and when necessary to avoid irreparable damage to persons, the Court may, at the request of a party or on its own motion, order such provisional measures as it deems pertinent, pursuant to Article 63(2) of the Convention. 6. That provisional measures have an exceptional character, and should only remain in force while the necessary conditions of extreme gravity and urgency subsist. 7. That according to the information provided by the Inter-American Commission, such a situation of extreme gravity and urgency no longer persists with respect to Anthony Johnson, as he “is no longer subject to a death sentence” (supra fourth “Having Seen”). 8. That since Mr. Johnson no longer faces circumstances of imminent danger and irreparable harm, it is appropriate to rescind the provisional measures ordered in his favor. 9. That the situation of extreme gravity and urgency persists, however, for the other individuals currently protected by the Court’s provisional measures in the present case. Thus, the State must maintain these measures in order to preserve the life and personal integrity of Wenceslaus James, Anthony Garcia, Darrin Roger Thomas, Haniff Hilaire, Denny Baptiste, Wilberforce Bernard, Naresh Boodram, Clarence Charles, Phillip Chotalal, George Constantine, Rodney Davis, Natasha De Leon, Mervyn Edmund, Alfred Frederick, Nigel Mark, Wayne Matthews, Steve Mungroo, Vijay Mungroo, Wilson Prince, Martin Reid, Noel Seepersad, Gangadeen Tahaloo, Keiron Thomas, Samuel Winchester, Peter Benjamin, Kevin Dial, Andrew Dottin, Amir Mowlah, Allan Phillip, Krishendath Seepersad, Narine Sooklal, Mervyn Parris, Francis Mansingh, Balkissoon Roodal, Sheldon Roach, Arnold Ramlogan, Beemal Ramnarace and Takoor Ramcharan. NOW THEREFORE: THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS,
