A/HRC/25/60/Add.2 who are currently serving sentences at Al-Razeen prison; and Mr. Mohamed al-Zumer, who was arrested on 5 December 2012, reportedly held incommunicado and in solitary confinement for approximately six months each, and charged but not sentenced under the 2006 Cyber Crime Law (amended by Federal Legal Decree No. 5/2012). It was reported that Mr. al-Zumer was subjected to torture and ill-treatment in detention. Mr. Waleed al Shehhi was reportedly arrested in August 2013 and, like Mr. Zumer, faces charges under the Cyber Crime Law for making comments on social media that allegedly insult state authorities. It was also reported that 18 of the convicted 69 members of the UAE 94 were subjected to beatings and other forms of mistreatment as a result of which they went on hunger strike from July or August to 25 October 2013; that the detainees’ health rapidly deteriorated due to the hunger strike; that Dr. al-Mansoori, whose shoulder had been dislocated by a beating that occurred before his hunger strike, was administered glucose in the prison clinic despite refusing medical attention; that Mr. Ali al-Kindi and Mr. Ahmed al-Qobaisi were hospitalized; and that Mr. Jumaa al-Felasi, who required medical attention after collapsing, was administered glucose but not brought to a hospital. Serious concern was expressed at allegations of shortcomings in the judicial system and procedural guarantees and poor prison conditions leading to the detainees’ protest in the form of a hunger strike, and the possibility that charges were brought against the named individuals in connection with their legitimate work defending human rights. In this context, the Special Rapporteur reiterates that the Government has the obligation to protect the right to physical and mental integrity of all persons, a right that is set forth inter alia in the UDHR and the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT). The Special Rapporteur also draws the Government’s attention to paragraph 1 of Human Rights Council Resolution 16/23 which “[c]ondemns 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,” and article 4 of the CAT which requires States Parties to ensure that all acts of torture are offences under its criminal law and to make the offences punishable by appropriate penalties. In this regard, the Special Rapporteur draws attention to article 12 of the CAT, which requires the competent authorities to undertake a prompt and impartial investigation wherever there are reasonable grounds to believe that torture has been committed, and article 7 of the CAT, which requires States Parties to prosecute suspected perpetrators of torture. The Special Rapporteur further reiterates article 15 of the CAT, which provides that, “[e]ach State Party shall ensure that any statement which is established to have been made as a result of torture shall not be invoked as evidence in any proceedings, except against a person accused of torture as evidence that the statement was made.” The Special Rapporteur calls on the Government to undertake all necessary measures to protect the aforementioned persons’ right to physical and mental integrity, to hold those responsible accountable and to provide full redress to the victims, including fair and adequate compensation and as full rehabilitation as possible.
