A/HRC/25/60/Add.2 context, the Special Rapporteur reiterates that each Government has the obligation to protect the right to physical and mental integrity of all persons. This right is set forth inter alia in the UDHR, the ICCPR and the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT). The Special Rapporteur also reiterates that no exceptional circumstances whatsoever can be invoked to justify torture by the Government and that therefore the rights of Messrs. Mazen Darwish, Hussayn Gharir, Hani Zitani, Abdelrahman Alhamade, Mansour Al-Omari, Mr. Khalil Matouk and Mr. Mohammed Thatha have been violated. (d) UA 16/08/2013 Case No. SYR 4/2013 State reply: None to date Alleged enforced disappearances of Messrs. Bassam Bahrah and Sameeh Bahrah. 150. The Special Rapporteur regrets that the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic has not responded to this communication, thereby failing to cooperate with the mandate issued by the Human Rights Council. The communication referred to the alleged enforced disappearances of Messrs. Bassam Bahrah and Sameeh Bahrah. Mr. Bassam Bahrah is 52 years old and works at the al-Mezzeh Military Hospital in Damascus. Mr. Sameeh Bahrah, son of Mr. Bassam Bahrah, is a 26-year-old medical student and peaceful political activist. On 30 April 2013, Mr. Bassam Bahrah was allegedly seen for the last time when he left his place of work. It was reported that the authorities may have arrested Mr. Bassam Bahrah in order to use him to locate Mr. Sameeh Bahrah. That evening, unidentified Government security service officials allegedly arrested Mr. Sameeh Bahrah at his family home in the al-Mezzeh district of Damascus in relation to his peaceful political activities. Since then, he has reportedly been held incommunicado at an unknown location. Mr. Sameeh Bahrah has reportedly been detained twice before in relation to his political activities. He was first arrested in July 2012, and was kept incommunicado for twenty-two days in the Palestine Branch in Damascus, a Military Intelligence run detention centre reportedly known for torture. Due to the lack of information provided by the Government, the Special Rapporteur expresses concern that Messrs. Bassam Bahrah and Sameeh Bahrah may have been subjected to enforced disappearance and may be at risk of torture. The Special Rapporteur reiterates that prolonged incommunicado detention can itself constitute a form of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment and that paragraph 1 of Human Rights Council Resolution 16/23 “Condemns all forms of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, including through intimidation, which are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever and can thus never be justified, and calls upon all States to implement fully the absolute and non-derogable prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” Tanzania (a) JAL 18/3/2013 Case No. TZA 1/2013 State Reply: 26/3/2013 Alleged lack of meaningful prosecutions for perpetrators of killings and mutilations of People of Albinism. 151. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania for its reply, dated 26 March 2013, to this communication in reference to the alleged killings and attacks on People with Albinism (PWA) in various provinces of Tanzania. It is alleged a seven year old boy was killed on 31 January 2013, sustaining lacerations to his forehead, right arm, and left shoulder, and his left arm was severed above the elbow. It is reported that PWAs body parts are superstitiously thought to bring wealth, as well as provide a cure to HIV/AIDS. Allegedly, another seven year old and his mother were attacked on 5 February 2013, attempting to kill the boy because of his albinism. Ms. Maria Chambanenge, aged thirty nine was also allegedly attacked because of her albinism, and had her arm severed. Another victim, a ten year old boy, also had his arm severed at the 110
