In September 2011, one person was convicted of making death threats against Norma in 2009. However, investigations into the threats she received in 2010 have not advanced.

A positive result in these cases would create a precedent for future investigations into harassment of human rights defenders, and would be a step in the right direction towards guaranteeing Norma’s safety.
