Government on 21 April 2005. Concerning: Mr. Hu Shigen. The State has signed but not ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. 1. The Working Group on Arbitrary Detention was established by resolution 1991/42 of the Commission on Human Rights. The mandate of the Working Group was clarified and extended by resolution 1997/50 and reconfirmed by resolution 2003/31. Acting in accordance with its methods of work, the Working Group forwarded to the Government of China the above-mentioned communication. 2. The Working Group conveys its appreciation to the Government for having provided it with information concerning the allegations of the source. 3. The Working Group regards deprivation of liberty as arbitrary in the following cases: I. When it manifestly cannot be justified on any legal basis (such as continued detention after the sentence has been served or despite an applicable amnesty act) (Category I); II. When the deprivation of liberty is the result of a judgement or sentence for the exercise of the rights and freedoms proclaimed in articles 7, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20 and 21 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and also, in respect of States parties, by articles 12, 18, 19, 21, 22, 25, 26 and 27 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Category II); III. When the complete or partial non-observance of the relevant international standards set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in the relevant international instruments accepted by the States concerned relating to the right to a fair trial is of such gravity as to confer on the deprivation of liberty, of whatever kind, an arbitrary character (Category III). 4. In the light of the allegations made, the Working Group welcomes the cooperation of the Government. The Working Group transmitted the reply provided by the Government to the source and received its comments. 5. The Working Group believes that it is in a position to render an Opinion on the facts and circumstances of the cases, in the context of the allegations made and the response of the Government thereto, as well as the observations by the source. 6. According to the source, Mr. Hu Shigen, born on 14 November 1954, of Chinese nationality, lecturer at the Beijing Language and Culture Institute, resident of Beijing, member of the China Freedom and Democracy Party, the Chinese Progressive Alliance and the China A/HRC/4/40/Add.1 page 5 Free Trade Union Preparatory Committee was initially arrested on 27 May 1992 by the Beijing Public Security Bureau, but the formalities required for criminal detention under Chinese law (zhengshi daibu) were complied with only on 27 September 1992. He was held for four months in detention until his formal arrest. Then, he was tried together with 14 other persons, for organizing a counter-revolutionary group and carrying out counter-revolutionary propaganda and incitement, according to articles 98 and 102 of the 1979 Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China. On 16 December 1994, he was convicted of counter-revolutionary organization and counter-revolutionary propaganda, crimes that were later abolished from the Chinese Criminal Law. Mr. Hu was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment and transferred from the Beijing Public Security Bureau’s locals to the Beijing No. 2 Prison. At the time when the communication was submitted he was still serving his prison sentence. 7. According to the source, Mr. Hu had helped to establish

The Muslim Brotherhood’s legislative body appointed Mohamed Morsy as president of the Freedom and Justice Party, Essam al-Erian as vice president and Saad al-Katatny as secretary general. Speaking to reporters in the backyard of the group’s new six-story headquarters on the hill of Moqattam, the appointees affirmed the independence of their political party from the mother organization - a plea constantly reiterated by observers and the group’s reformist voices. To prove the party’s autonomy, the Shura Council required the three leaders to relinquish their positions in the Guidance Bureau, the Muslim Brotherhood’s executive structure, according to a statement given out to journalists. The same document uses a vague language to envisage possible “coordination” between the party and the Muslim Brotherhood in a way that achieves “national interests.” 2 “Any party that ignores the coordination with the Muslim Brotherhood, given its historical role and geographical expansion, threatens its own chances,” Erian told reporters at a news conference after the Shura Council had adjourned its two-day meeting.

    March 30, 2006 Stephen J. Toope, Chairman-Rapporteur Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances c/o OHCHR-UNOG CH-1211 Geneva 10 Switzerland Fax: (+41-22) 917 90 06 E-mail: [email protected] Re: General Allegation Regarding the United States Policy and Practice of Rendition Dear Mr. Toope, We write on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation (“ACLU”), a non-profit organization that educates the public about civil liberties and employs lawyers who provide legal representation free of charge in cases involving civil and human rights. Since September 11, 2001, the United States government has relied increasingly in its counterterrorism operations on a practice that has commonly become known as “rendition,” or “extraordinary rendition.”1 While the circumstances of individual cases vary, the practice generally involves the abduction of persons either outside or inside the U.S. and their extrajudicial transfer either to U.S.-run detention facilities overseas or to the custody of foreign intelligence agencies. Following their abduction and detention, suspects are subjected to interrogation methods proscribed by United States and international law. Even when suspects are transferred to the custody of foreign agents under the rendition program, the United States often maintains a degree of control over their custody as well as the interrogation process itself.2 Because those subjected to this practice are generally held incommunicado in secret facilities, we believe that the practice either facilitates or effects enforced disappearances as this term has been defined under the Declaration for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced or Involuntary Disappearance.3 1 See e.g.: Rajiv Chandrasekaran and Peter Finn, U.S.

The purpose of this declaration is to bring the Court’s attention to official government disclosures, as well as information in the public domain, concerning the citizenship, length of detention, and date, place, and circumstances of capture of detainees held at the Bagram and similarly-situated suspected terrorists and combatants in U.S. military custody at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba (“Guantánamo”). 1 Publicly-Available Information about Detainees at Bagram Prison 3.
