A/HRC/22/53/Add.4 the demonstrated evidence of torture on Mr. El-Sayed‟s body, deteriorating health, and possible imposition of the death penalty. In this context, the Special Rapporteur reminds the Government of Article 12 of the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”), which requires the competent authorities to undertake a prompt and impartial investigation whenever there are reasonable grounds to believe that torture has been committed, and Article 7 of the CAT, which requires State parties to prosecute suspected perpetrators of torture. Moreover, the Special Rapporteur asserts that the use of confessions extracted under torture in judicial proceedings is strictly prohibited under international law, reiterating Article 15 of the CAT, which provides that, “[e]ach State Party shall ensure that any statement which is established to have been made as a result of torture shall not be invoked as evidence in any proceedings, except against a person accused of torture as evidence that the statement was made.” In light of the fact that no evidence has been provided to the contrary, the Special Rapporteur is of the view that the rights of Mr. El-Sayed under the UN Convention against Torture have been violated. The Special Rapporteur calls on the Government of Saudi Arabia to undertake a prompt, impartial, and effective investigation of the alleged acts of torture, leading to prosecution and punishment of the perpetrators. Moreover, the Special Rapporteur urges the Government of Saudi Arabia to set aside any conviction based on evidence obtained under torture, and ensure that Mr. El-Sayed obtains redress, including fair and adequate compensation, and as full rehabilitation as possible.
