CAT/C/56/D/671/2015 submits that there are new facts since the application to the Court, notably that he has received “virulent death threats”. 5.2 With regard to the State party’s view that his complaint is manifestly unfounded as concerns the alleged risk of torture, the complainant objects to this statement as the State party provides no supporting evidence. He claims the State party has not investigated thoroughly his claims.8 The State party’s authorities contacted the United States Embassy in Budapest, which responded that all of the complainant’s rights have been respected. Furthermore, he contends that he had provided documentation about his own experiences and the circumstances of foreigners and minorities in United States detention facilities. Notably, he claims to have been subjected to torture through pain, suffering, physical and mental abuse inflicted upon him by prison staff and other officials, as well as inmates. He submits that, despite his numerous letters to the United States Federal Bureau of Prisons about the ongoing torture, he was not given any remedy but was instead subjected to prolonged isolation. He claims that he filed court documents stating he wanted to bring criminal charges against the guards, but that they were never answered. Despite his petitions to the judge and prosecutor in his case, nothing was done to assist him. The complainant also asserts that long-term solitary confinement and lack of staff to provide mental health services are a practice in the United States prisons’ system, referring to the Committee’s concluding observations on the combined third to fifth periodic reports of the United States (CAT/C/USA/CO/3-5). 5.3 Furthermore, the complainant submits that he received anti-Semitic death threats from the United States on two occasions in November 2014 aimed at himself and his family, which were not investigated by the State party for a period of several months. They were sent to him by post with his wife falsely marked as the sender. The death threats were addressed to him personally, in English and of an anti-Semitic nature, since they made direct references to his Jewish faith. Furthermore, the second letter was posted from the address of a Jewish cemetery in the state to which he is requested to be extradited. The complainant submits that he presented this evidence on both occasions to the prison guards and subsequently filed criminal charges with the State party’s police in the fall of 2014. He was called upon to give witness testimony by the police only six months later, on 3 April 2015. Furthermore, he has petitioned the State party to request mutual legal assistance from the United States in order to investigate the death threats, but his formal request was rejected. On 17 April 2015, his complaint was dismissed by the Budapest police, on the grounds that there was no realistic possibility of establishing the perpetrator of the crime. He was informed that the Budapest police has not been contacted by the competent authorities of the United States regarding the matter. On 5 May 2015, he lodged a complaint against the decision of the police. 5.4 He maintains that he has provided expert forensic psychiatric evidence that his condition of post-traumatic stress disorder is a direct consequence of the mistreatment and torture that he was submitted to while in United States custody. 5.5 On 15 April 2015, the Metropolitan Court extended the complainant’s detention, taking into consideration the Committee’s request for interim measures of protection. 8 6 The complainant refers to a correspondence dated 14 April 2015 from the head of the International Criminal Law Department at the Ministry of Justice to the Metropolitan Court of Budapest, stating that, in its view, “the plaintiff is abusing the authority of the Committee since the concerns stated on his part have already been examined by the Hungarian authorities, and the United States authorities have provided sufficient guarantees to ensure that the plaintiff will not be subjected to torture and other humiliating treatment, and he can also freely practice his religious beliefs while incarcerated, furthermore his mental condition will be treated adequately”.
