That Carlos Nieto-Palma has informed, inter alia, that the threats against him which gave rise to the adoption of provisional measures have ceased, but are still latent by reason of his work as a human rights activist who defends the rights of persons under arrest and the constant public threats of state officials who accuse human rights non-government organizations working in prisons whenever there is a quarrel or a riot, of having caused such actions.
