E/CN.4/1994/31 page 131 648. The Government also reported that no information was found in official records on measures taken against the following persons: Ali (Redzep) Kadrijaj from Restovici near Decani; Fadil Kraljani from Pec; Jasar Salihadziaj from Radovici near Pec; Mirtzaj Bajramu from Pec; and Avdi Ulaj from Pristina. Observations 649. During the period under review, the Special Rapporteur has received very little direct information on torture in the territory of the former Yugoslavia. Since the appointment in August 1992 of Mr. T. Mazowiecki as Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the territory of the former Yugoslavia, the information received has been processed by his staff in Geneva and Zagreb and has been reflected during 1993 in the reports contained in documents E/CN.4/1994/3 of 5 May 1993; E/CN.4/1994/4 of 19 May 1993; E/CN.4/1994/6 of 26 August 1993; E/CN.4/1994/8 of 6 September 1993 and E/CN.4/1994/47 of 17 November 1993. This was done both to avoid duplication of efforts and to ensure a comprehensive approach to the former Yugoslavia, as well as to make optimum use of the expertise that the case requires. On the other hand, with respect to Bosnia and Herzegovina the Special Rapporteur’s usual procedures for communicating allegations to the Government concerned cannot usefully be applied to a country where it is estimated that two thirds of the territory are not under the control of the recognized Government. United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Information received from the Government on cases included in previous reports 650. By letter dated 18 October 1991 the Special Rapporteur advised the Government that he had received information alleging that Damien Austin, aged 17, had been subjected to ill-treatment at the Castlereagh detention centre in Belfast in May and August 1991. 651. On 10 February 1993 the Government replied that the complaints from Mr. Austin related to his detention from 7 to 10 May 1991 and from 17 to 20 August 1991. Following his release, on both occasions, he had made formal complaints about his treatment at the holding centre. The complaint in May was classified as incapable of investigation by the Independent Commission of Police Complaints (ICPC) under regulation 17 of the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) Complaints Regulations 1988 because of the non-cooperation of Mr. Austin. When he was arrested in August he had already sustained some injuries, including a wound to his ear which had been treated and stitched. However, during his detention in Castlereagh it was alleged that he had been further injured, and his solicitor went to court for a writ of habeas corpus. Before the case was heard Austin was released. The complaint had been investigated by RUC, under the supervision of ICPC and a report had been forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions (Northern Ireland). DPP (NI) had issued an interim direction on 16 November 1992 stating that the consideration of the complaint would have to await the outcome of civil proceedings lodged by Mr. Austin. It would not be appropriate, therefore, to comment further until all civil, criminal or disciplinary proceedings had been completed.
