A/HRC/31/57/Add.1 and “[e]xamples of assistance triggering State responsibility under article 16 include forms of assistance vital to the practice of extraordinary rendition and secret detention, including unchecked access to ports…”(A/70/303). 454. The Special Rapporteur urges the Government of Portugal to take all steps necessary to ensure that procedures are in place to prevent such incidents from taking place on its territory in the future. Qatar JUA 27/03/2015 Case No. QAT 1/2015 State Reply: 21/09/2015 Allegations concerning torture, ill- treatment, and unfair trial with regard to the arrest, detention, and conviction of Mr. Ronaldo Lopez Ulep. 455. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Qatar for its reply, dated 21 May 2015, to the present communication. 456. The Rapporteur takes note of the information provided by the Government. However, the reply fails to address the allegation that Mr. Lopez Ulep was subjected to physical and psychological torture and other ill-treatment, that his confession was the result of torture, and that he was placed in prolonged solitary confinement. 457. The Rapporteur hence 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. 458. In the absence of information to the contrary, the Rapporteur concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in the initial communication, available via the link above, and is therefore of the view that the Government of Qatar, by failing to protect the physical and psychological integrity of Mr. Lopez Ulep, and subjecting him to prolonged solitary confinement has violated his right to be free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, as provided by articles 2, 15, and 16 of the Convention against Torture.

The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of the Russian Federation for its reply, dated 13 February 2015, to the present communication. 460. The Rapporteur acknowledges the comprehensive account of the Government in response to the concerns, legal obligations, and questions raised in the initial communication. He welcomes the information provided by the Government of the Russian Federation that the investigation regarding the arson attack against “the Joint Mobile Group,” as well as the intimidation, harassment, and arrest of human rights defenders, have been moved from the Grosny Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation to the Investigation Directorate of the Investigation Committee of the Russian Federation for the Chechen Republic for further investigation. 78
