I. Introduction

  • 1.
  • This addendum to the report of the Special Rapporteur contains, on a country-by-

country basis, summaries of reliable and credible allegations of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment that were brought to the attention of the Special Rapporteur, and were transmitted to the Governments concerned. It also contains replies from Governments. This addendum does not illustrate the state of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment throughout the world, but rather reflects the state of information brought to the attention of the Special Rapporteur.

  • 2.
  • The Special Rapporteur would like to recall that in transmitting these allegations to

Governments, he does not make any judgement concerning the merits of the cases, nor does he support the opinion and activities of the persons on behalf of whom he intervenes. The prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment is a non derogable right, and every human being is legally and morally entitled to protection. When the Special Rapporteur receives reliable and credible information that gives grounds to fear that a person may be at risk of torture or other forms of ill-treatment, he may transmit an urgent appeal to the Government concerned. The communications sent by the Special Rapporteur have a humanitarian and preventive purpose, and do not require the exhaustion of domestic remedies. Governments are requested to clarify the substance of the allegations, take steps to protect the person’s rights, and are urged to investigate the allegations and prosecute and impose appropriate sanctions on any persons guilty of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

  • 3.
  • During the period 15 December 2008 to 18 December 2009, the Special Rapporteur

sent 70 letters of allegations of torture to 38 Governments and 175 urgent appeals to 59 Governments on behalf of persons who might be at risk of torture or other forms of illtreatment. Government responses received up to 31 December 2009 have been included. The responses received after that date will be duly reflected in a future communications report.

  • 4.
  • The Special Rapporteur appreciates the timely responses received from

Governments to the letters and urgent appeals transmitted. He regrets that many Governments fail to respond, or do so selectively, and that responses to older cases remain outstanding in large part.

  • 5.
  • Owing to restrictions on the length of documents, the Special Rapporteur has been

obliged to reduce considerably details of communications sent and received, with attention given to information relating specifically to allegations of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. As a result, requests from Governments to publish their replies in their totality could not be acceded to. Moreover, attention is given to information in Government replies specifically relating to the allegations, particularly information on the following:

(a) (b) (c)
What steps were taken to ascertain the veracity of the facts alleged? Has a complaint been lodged by or on behalf of the alleged victim? The details, and where available the results, of any investigation, medical examinations, and judicial or other inquiries carried out in relation to the case.

(d) Full details of any prosecutions which have been undertaken (e.g. penal, disciplinary or administrative sanctions imposed on the alleged perpetrator(s)).

(e) What compensation and rehabilitation have been provided to the victim or the family of the victim?

M. Adel Saker serait détenu incommunicado

dans un centre secret du Département de la recherche et de la sécurité (DRS), le service de renseignement de l’armée algérienne, depuis le 26 mai 2008. Les autorités n’auraient d’abord pas reconnu la détention. Le 25 octobre 2008, le procureur de Tamalous aurait requis le chef de la sureté de Daira, d’une demande officielle afin d’établir un procès verbal de constat et de notification. Le document No 942/2008 du 16 décembre 2008 du chef de la sureté du Daira de Tamalous indiquerait que M. Saker aurait été convoqué à ce service de manière officielle le 26 mai 2008, que des représentants du Centre Régional de Recherche et d’investigation de Skikda auraient «requis qu’il leur soit remis pour procéder à une enquête dans une affaire similaire», et qu’il aurait été remis à ces derniers avec l’accord express du procureur de la République de Tamalous. M. Saker aurait été, par le passé, détenu et soumis aux mauvais traitements par le Département de la recherche et de la sécurité.

Alleged detention and deportation of a large number of nationals to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Since January 2009, collective deportations and expulsion of nationals of the DRC have taken place, reaching a peak in August 2009. Overall, approximately 18,800 DRC nationals have been allegedly expelled from Angola; approximately 16,000 of those since late August 2009.

In May 2009, in the Ngazi settlement in Lunda Norte province, refugees, asylum-seekers and

irregular migrant workers were subjected to illtreatment, including gender-based violence, and deprived of their belongings. These violations were mostly perpetrated by the security force and intended to force them to return to the DRC.

Whereas most of the DRC nationals were expelled from the provinces of Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul, expulsions have also reportedly occurred in the territories of Soyo and Cabinda since early October 2009. Citizens of the DRC were detained and kept in very poor conditions prior to their expulsion. It appears that the administrative detention of asylum seekers is not subject to independent monitoring, takes place without prior authorization from a judicial body, and the detainees are most often denied access to legal counsel. In the context of the expulsions, many of them were subjected to sexual violence at the risk of HIV transmission, body searches without minimum hygienic standards and theft.

In this respect, we note the initiative to create a Commission in late November 2009 to discuss this concern with the DRC authorities and the issuance on 13 October 2009 of a joint communiqué announcing the concerted cessation of expulsions and the political will to find sustainable solutions to the issue. In spite of these commitments, reports were received that expulsions have continued to occur, albeit at a lesser scale.

    Prepared Testimony to the United States Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Near Eastern and South and Central Asian Affairs May 11, 2011 HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRATIC REFORM IN IRAN Andrew Apostolou, Freedom House Chairman Casey, Ranking member Risch, Members of the Subcommittee, it is an honour to be invited to address you and to represent Freedom House. Please allow me to thank you and your staff for all your efforts to advance the cause of human rights and democracy in Iran. It is also a great pleasure to be here with Rudi Bakhtiar and Kambiz Hosseini. They are leaders in how we communicate the human rights issue, both to Iran and to the rest of the world. Freedom House is celebrating its 70th anniversary. We were founded on the eve of the United States‟ entry into World War II by Eleanor Roosevelt and Wendell Wilkie to act as an ideological counterweight to the Nazi‟s anti-democratic ideology. The Nazi headquarters in Munich was known as the Braunes Haus, so Roosevelt and Wilkie founded Freedom House in response. The ruins of the Braunes Haus are now a memorial. Freedom House is actively promoting democracy and freedom around the world. The Second World War context of our foundation is relevant to our Iran work. The Iranian state despises liberal democracy, routinely violates human rights norms through its domestic repression, mocks and denies the Holocaust. Given the threat that the Iranian state poses to its own population and to the Middle East, we regard Iran as an institutional priority. In addition to Freedom House‟s well-known analyses on the state of freedom in the world and our advocacy for democracy, we support democratic activists in some of the world‟s most repressive societies, including Iran.

    Madan Bhandari Highway

    Report on Environmental, Social and Economic Impacts of Madan Bhandari Highway DECEMBER 17, 2019 NEFEJ Lalitpur Executive Summary The report of the eastern section of Madan Bhandari Highway was prepared on the basis of Hetauda-Sindhuli-Gaighat-Basaha-Chatara 371 km field study, discussion with the locals and the opinion of experts and reports. •During 2050's,Udaypur, Sindhuli and MakwanpurVillage Coordination Committee opened track and constructed 3 meters width road in their respective districts with an aim of linking inner Madhesh with their respective headquarters. In the background of the first Madhesh Movement, the road department started work on the concept of alternative roads. Initially, the double lane road was planned for an alternative highway of about 7 meters width. The construction of the four-lane highway under the plan of national pride began after the formation of a new government of the federal Nepal on the backdrop of the 2072 blockade and the Madhesh movement. The Construction of Highway was enunciated without the preparation of an Environmental Impact Assessment Report despite the fact that it required EIA before the implementation of the big physical plan of long-term importance. Only the paper works were done on the study and design of the alternative highway concept. The required reports and construction laws were abolished from the psychology that strong reporting like EIA could be a hindrance to the roads being constructed through sensitive terrain like Chure (Siwalik). • During the widening of the roads, 8 thousand 2 hundred and 55 different trees of community forest of Makwanpur, Sindhuli and Udaypur districtsare cut.

    Preliminary Analysis of Helicopter Options to Support Tunisian Counterterrorism Operations

    C O R P O R A T I O N Preliminary Analysis of Helicopter Options to Support Tunisian Counterterrorism Operations Christopher A. Mouton and Adam R. Grissom Background Key findings In early 2014, the government of Tunisia requested permission from the government of the United States to purchase 12 UH- • Four helicopters could be more cost-effective than the 60M Blackhawk helicopters from Sikorsky to fulfill a number UH-60M: the AS-332L1 Super Puma, the CH-47D of roles in counterterrorism operations. Rising costs and delays Chinook, the Mi-17v5, and the S-61T. in delivery raised the question of whether other cost-effective • Availability will also be a factor in determining options exist to meet Tunisia’s helicopter requirement. whether these helicopters are viable alternatives. Approach Our team conducted a preliminary assessment of alternative helicopters for counterterrorism air assault missions. Any decision to acquire an aircraft must consider many factors, including technical effectiveness, cost, maintainability, production-line capacity, training and sup- port availability, industrial offsets, and domestic and international political implications. In this preliminary analysis, we focus on the question of cost-effectiveness in the UH-60M’s primary role: Which alternative platforms could perform the assault mission, and at what cost? The core of our analysis is detailed modeling of key “mission tasks” on a sortie-by-sortie basis. Our model uses raw technical data—such as specific range, hover performance, and weight limits—to simulate the flight of each alternative platform through each sortie. This enables us to assess which platforms can per- form the required sorties, as well as how many aircraft are needed.
