A/HRC/28/68/Add.1 Bahamas UA 25/06/2014 Case No. BHS 1/2014 State Reply: None to date Allegations of imminent deportation of Mr. X who has applied for asylum in Naussau and is detained in the Carmichael Road Migration Center, the Bahamas. 32. The Special Rapporteur regrets that the Government of the Bahamas has not replied to the present communication, thereby failing to cooperate with the mandate issued by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 25/13, and to comply with its obligation, under international customary law, to investigate, prosecute and punish all acts of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, as codified, inter alia, in the Convention against Torture (CAT). 33. In the absence of information to the contrary, the Rapporteur concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in the initial communication, reiterated above and thus, that the Government of the Bahamas, by seeking to extradite Mr. X, violates his right to be free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, as provided by articles 1 and 16 of the CAT. 34. It has come to the attention of the Special Rapporteur that, as of the drafting of this report, the extradition of Mr. X has not taken place. The Rapporteur strongly urges the Government of the Bahamas to protect the right of Mr. X to be free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, as provided by articles 1 and 16 of the CAT, and to refrain from extraditing Mr. X, thereby ensuring compliance with article 3 of the CAT. Bahrain (a) JUA 10/01/2014 Case No. BHR 1/2014 State Reply: 11/02/2014 Allegations of beatings and arbitrary and incommunicado detention of Mr. Fardan. 35. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Bahrain for its reply, dated 11.02.2014, to the present communication. 36. The Rapporteur takes note of the information provided by the Government that Mr. Fardan was released on 9 January and that the case, on the date of the dispatch of the reply, was still under investigation. 37. Nonetheless, the Rapporteur finds that the Government, in its reply, does not sufficiently address the concerns, legal obligations, and questions raised in the initial communication, which prompts him to infer that the Government fails to fully and expeditiously cooperate with the mandate issued by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 25/13, as well as to comply with its obligation, under international customary law, to investigate, prosecute and punish all acts of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, as codified, inter alia, in the Convention against Torture (CAT). 38. In the absence of information to the contrary, the Rapporteur concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in the initial communication, reiterated above, and thus, that the Government of Bahrain, by failing to protect the physical and psychological integrity of Mr. Fardan and prevent his prolonged incommunicado detention, has violated his right to be free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, as provided by articles 1 and 16 of the CAT.
