supported by the fact that the author, although allegedly tortured in Tunisia in 1989,
returned to Tunisia in 1990 without being subjected to torture. For the abovementioned reasons, the Committee finds that the complainant has not provided

The Committee against Torture, acting under article 22, paragraph 7, of the

Punishment, concludes that the complainant’s removal to Tunisia would not constitute
a breach by the State party of article 3 of the Convention.
