64 | Report on the Situation of Human Rights in the Dominican Republic 27, 1999, the Commission granted precautionary measures for the girls Dilcia Yean and Violeta Bosico, who had been denied Dominican citizenship despite having been born on Dominican soil; the denial of their right to citizenship would expose them to the imminent threat of being arbitrarily deported from their country of birth. The Commission called upon the State to take the measures necessary to prevent the Yean and Bosico girls from being deported and to ensure that Violeta Bosico was not denied her right to attend classes and receive the education provided to all other children who are Dominican citizens. 129 125. On November 22, 1999, the Commission granted precautionary measures and requested that the Government of the Dominican Republic take the actions necessary to put an end to collective expulsions of foreigners and, where persons in the territory of the Dominican Republic were to be deported, to fully observe the requirements of due process. This request was based on information received in which the petitioners indicated that thousands of persons of Haitian origin and Dominicans of Haitian descent had been expelled by the authorities of the Dominican Republic, through collective round-ups and without legal procedures to properly determine the nationality and family ties of the expelled persons. 130 126. On December 3, 1999, the Commission granted precautionary measures and requested that the Government of the Dominican Republic adopt, on an urgent basis, the measures necessary to guarantee the protection of Eddy Martínez, his wife Germania Pierre (María), and their two minor children, Olga and Teresa, to allow them to return to the territory of the Dominican Republic, and to give back their personal documents, which had been unlawfully seized. The Commission also requested that the Dominican Republic fully investigate the acts alleged, in accordance with its domestic legislation. According to the information received, Dominican immigration inspectors had expelled the family of Eddy Martínez, a Dominican by birth, to Haiti in a violent, illegal, and arbitrary manner, on the basis of “having mistaken them for Haitians”. 131 127. Subsequently, on July 31, 2008, the IACHR granted a request for precautionary measures for Emildo Bueno Orguís, Dielal Bueno, Minoscal De Olis Oguiza, Gyselle Baret Reyes, and Demerson De Olis Baret. All of these individuals were born in the Dominican Republic to Haitian parents and had allegedly been the target of threats and acts of violence, reportedly in retaliation for having pursued legal action to obtain documents identifying them as Dominican nationals. 132 128. On June 10, 2013, the IACHR granted precautionary measures for Luisa Fransua, Rafael Toussaint, and another 48 individuals and their 32 children in the Dominican Republic. At that time, the beneficiaries of the measure were being denied birth records, identity and voter registration cards, or their documents were being withheld or invalidated. These actions thereby blocked their access to basic services, 129 130 131 132 IACHR, PM 86/99 –Dilcia Yean and Violeta Bosico, Dominican Republic.
