A/HRC/28/68/Add.1 282. He regrets that, as of the drafting of this report, no official translation is available to the Government’s reply of 21 July 2014. 283. The Rapporteur will make his views on the case known later on, after being able to read an English version of the reply. Kuwait JUA 31/07/2014 Case No. KWT 2/2014 State Replies: 19/09/2014, 08/10/2014 Allegations concerning the use of force by the police during the peaceful demonstrations in Kuwait City from 2 to 7 July 2014, including the arbitrary detention of a few dozen peaceful protesters, and the infliction of serious injuries against at least five peaceful protesters, including one journalist covering the protests. 284. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Kuwait for its replies, dated 19 September 2014 and 8 October 2014, to the present communication. 285. The Rapporteur takes note of the information provided by the Government concerning the action taken by the police from 2 to 7 July 2014 and the State’s human rights provisions in its Constitution. 286. The Rapporteur finds that the Government' reply does not sufficiently address the concerns raised in the initial communication, which means that the Government fails fully and expeditiously to cooperate with the mandate issued by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 25/13. The Rapporteur infers that the State similarly fails 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). In its replies, the Government fails to provide sufficient information regarding the alleged ill-treatment of Mr. Abdulhakim Al Fadhli and the alleged illegal police activity surrounding the protests from 2 to 7 July 2014. 287. In the absence of sufficient information to the contrary, the Rapporteur concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in the initial communication and that the Government of Kuwait by arbitrarily detaining the peaceful protestors in question and failing to investigate allegations of ill-treatment, has violated their right to be free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, as provided by articles 1 and 16 of the CAT.

The Special Rapporteur regrets that the Government of Kyrgyzstan 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). 289. 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 Kyrgyzstan, by failing to protect the physical and psychological integrity of Ms. Dinara Turdumatova, has violated their right to be free from 49
