Political Reprisals, Property Rights and Citizenship Documentation

Summary:
The applicant alleges politically motivated arrest and detention following accusations of supporting an opposition figure. He further contends that the authorities refused to renew his passport after its expiry, thereby preventing him from regularising his residence abroad and placing him in a precarious legal situation. The case also alleges continued reprisals, including interference with his property and the targeting of associates, as well as failure to investigate acts of violence and intimidation. The communication raises violations of liberty and security, freedom of movement, property rights, and the right to an effective remedy.
