A/HRC/25/60/Add.2 the Public Prosecutor charged Mr. Fateel with alleged "establishment of a group in order to disable the provisions of the Constitution" and order his imprisonment for a period of sixty days pending investigation under the terrorism law. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government for the response dated 5 June 2013 where it was stated that Mr. Fateel was inciting suspension of the Constitution and violating citizens’ personal freedoms through terrorism. Allegedly Mr. Fateel was interrogated only once and a forensic physician was charged with investigating any injuries and concluded no ill-treatment was committed. The Special Rapporteur would like to remind the government of Bahrain of paragraph 1 of Human Rights Council Resolution 16/23 which “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 nonderogable prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” The Special Rapporteur would also like to remind the Government of article 12 of the CAT and paragraph 6b of Human Rights Council Resolution 8/8, which require 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 State parties to prosecute suspected perpetrators of torture. The government’s response does not offer satisfactory evidence that the forensic doctor’s examination was conducted with the appropriate guarantees of independence and impartiality. In addition, and in regards to any criminal prosecution of Mr. Fateel, article 15 of the CAT and paragraph 7c of Human Rights Council Resolution 16/23, provide that “Each 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 also encourages the government of Bahrain to continue its engagement with the mandate. 14. On 29 September 2013 Mr. Fateel was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment by Branch 4 of the High Criminal Court. The Special Rapporteur notes that the allegations of torture have not been investigated and were not considered by the court.

The Special Rapporteur thanks the government of Bahrain for its reply, dated 24 June 2013, to this communication in reference to the alleged temporary isolation of Mr. Nabeel Rajab from his cell in Jaw prison after having witnessed acts of torture of young detainees by police officers. Mr. Rajab is the Director of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights (BCHR) and is currently serving a two-year prison sentence in Jaw prison after having been convicted on charges of calling for and participating in peaceful demonstrations. Mr Rajab has been the subject of several previous communications, most recently a joint urgent appeal sent on 24 July 2012 sent by the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, the Special Rapporteurs on the protection and promotion of the right to freedom of opinion and expression; on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association; on human rights defenders; and on the independence of judges and lawyers concerning Mr Rajab’s health and allegations of denial of access to adequate medical treatment. No response was provided to these allegations. According to the information received, Mr. Rajab made a phone call on 14 May 2013, describing how he had witnessed young political prisoners being tortured at the hands of police officers in Jaw prison. Allegedly, on the same evening, relatives of Mr. Rajab received a telephone call stating that Mr. Rajab would not be allowed to call his family for two weeks, and that he had been removed from his prison cell by guards and not returned.
