telephone and counsel has not heard from him since. In addition, he states that Mr. Dadar is persona non grata in Iran. He cannot work or travel and is unable to obtain the medical treatment he had received in Canada to treat his condition. On 29 June 2006, counsel informed the Committee that subsequent to his initial detention, the complainant resided under house arrest living with his aged mother. On several occasions the Iranian authorities asked him to re-attend for further questioning. The questioning pertained, inter alia, to the complainant’s political activities while in Canada. The complainant had expressed dissatisfaction with his apparent status in Iran as a persona non grata and said that he lacked status to obtain employment or travel. He was also unable to obtain the medication he received in Canada to treat his medical condition. Moreover, the Iranian authorities had delivered a copy of the Committee’s decision to his home and requested his attendance for questioning. On 1 June 2007, counsel informed the Committee that but for the intervention of the complainant’s brother prior to his arrival in Tehran and during the period of his detention immediately following his arrival, with a high ranking member of the Iranian Intelligence Service, the complainant would have been tortured and possibly executed. He requests that the case not be removed from the Committee’s follow-up procedure. Action taken See the Committee’s annual report (A/61/44) for an account of the contents of notes verbales sent from the Special Rapporteur to the State party. Committee’s decision During the consideration of the follow-up at its thirty-sixth session, the Committee deplored the State party’s failure to abide by its obligations under article 3, and found that the State party violated its obligations under article 3 not to, “expel, return (refouler) or extradite a person to another State where there are substantial grounds for believing that he would be in danger of being subjected to torture”. The dialogue is ongoing. 148
