11.5 In light of the above, the Committee considers that information before
it does not show that substantial grounds exist for believing that the authors
will be personally at risk of being subject to torture if they are returned to
the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The Committee against Torture, acting under article 22, paragraph 7, of
the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment
or Punishment, is of the view that the facts as found by the Committee do not
reveal a breach of article 3 of the Convention.
