CCPR/C/130/D/2777/2016 constitutes unlawful interference with their privacy, family and home, in violation of article 17 of the Covenant. 7.13 In the present case, the Committee notes that the material on file does not allow it to conclude that the investigation into the allegations of arbitrary arrest and detention and arbitrary and unlawful interference with his privacy, home and family life was carried out promptly or effectively or that any of the suspects were identified, tried and punished, despite a number of complaints and efforts made by the author, who specifically identified some of the alleged perpetrators. The State party has not clarified why no such investigation has yet taken place, or why there has been a delay in carrying out such an investigation. Accordingly, the Committee considers that the State party has failed to conduct a prompt, thorough and effective investigation into the circumstances of the arrest and detention of the author and the arbitrary and unlawful interference with his privacy, home and family life. Thus, the Committee concludes that the facts before it reveal a violation of article 2 (3), read in conjunction with articles 9 and 17 of the Covenant. 8. The Committee, acting under article 5 (4) of the Optional Protocol, is of the view that the information before it discloses violations by the State party of articles 7, 9 and 17, read alone and in conjunction with article 2 (3) of the Covenant. 9. Pursuant to article 2 (3) (a) of the Covenant, the State party is under an obligation to provide the author with an effective remedy. This requires it to make full reparation to individuals whose Covenant rights have been violated. Accordingly, the State party is obligated, inter alia: (a) to conduct a prompt investigation that is effective and thorough, impartial and independent, and transparent into the facts surrounding the arrest, detention and torture of the author and the treatment he suffered during detention, both in 2002 and in 2006, as well as the interference with his private life, home and family life and to provide the author with detailed information about the results of the investigation; (b) to prosecute and punish those found responsible for the violations committed; (c) to ensure that necessary and adequate psychological rehabilitation and medical treatment are made available to the author; and (d) to provide adequate compensation, including appropriate measures of satisfaction, beyond the partial compensation already offered to the author for the violations suffered. The State party is also under an obligation to take steps to prevent the occurrence of similar violations in the future. In particular, the State party should ensure that its legislation effectively criminalizes torture and provides for appropriate sanctions and remedies commensurate with the gravity of the crimes. 10. Bearing in mind that, by becoming a party to the Optional Protocol, the State party has recognized the competence of the Committee to determine whether there has been a violation of the Covenant and that, pursuant to article 2 of the Covenant, the State party has undertaken to ensure to all individuals within its territory and subject to its jurisdiction the rights recognized in the Covenant and to provide an effective and enforceable remedy when it has been determined that a violation has occurred, the Committee wishes to receive from the State party, within 180 days, information about the measures taken to give effect to the Committee’s Views. The State party is also requested to publish the present Views and to have them widely disseminated in the official language of the State party. 15
