Urgent appeals sent and replies received
164. The Special Rapporteur sent an urgent appeal on 5 May 1995 on behalf
of Hassan Adel, who had been a member of the National Council of Resistance of
Iran. According to the reports, Mr. Adel was refused political asylum by the
Danish authorities and was being held in Sandholm detention camp, facing
expulsion from Denmark. Fears were expressed that if deported to the Islamic
Republic of Iran he might be arrested and subjected to torture.
165. On 18 July 1995 the Government replied that the Refugee Board, an
independent body composed of representatives from the public authorities,
lawyers and the non-governmental Danish Refugee Council, had on 10 March 1995
rejected Hassan Adel’s asylum claim. The Refugee Board decided on 9 June not
to reconsider his case. An application to the Ministry of the Interior for a
residence permit for humanitarian reasons was rejected on 19 April 1995 and a
request for resumption of his case was also declined on 24 May. His date of
departure was moved to 1 July 1995 and he subsequently left the Refugee Centre
where he was residing. It was assumed that he left Denmark without the
assistance of the Danish authorities.

restraint had been a subject of concern of the Special Rapporteur, as
expressed in the letter transmitted to the Government on 5 August 1994.
