By letter dated 30 December 1999, the Government replied to the allegations concerning Mahmoud Boumahdi transmitted by the Special Rapporteur on 3 September 1999 (see E/CN.4/2000/9, para. 784). 51. The Government confirmed that he had lodged a complaint for torture against a police officer in the course of the preliminary investigation concerning misappropriation of funds. Subsequent investigations revealed that his allegations of ill-treatment were unfounded and that he had been brought before the court in perfectly good health. According to the Government, he confessed of his own free will to the acts of which he was accused. The Government indicated that, on 27 April 1999, Mahmoud Boumahdi suffered a heart attack and had been taken to the emergency room of the Hassan II hospital. Placed under surveillance on the order of the Crown Procurator of Dakhla, the latter had questioned him after receiving permission to do so from a doctor. As his health deteriorated later on, he was transferred to the Avicennes hospital at Rabat. According to the Government, the report of the doctor at the Hassan II hospital confirmed that Mahmoud Boumahdi had suffered a hemiplegia and noted the absence of any visible traces of blows or torture. Lastly, the Government stated that Mahmoud Boumahdi had stated during the judicial police hearing on 23 November 1998 that he had been tortured by the “Polisario”. He allegedly suffered from serious injuries to the head and back as well as traumatism.
