E/CN.4/1994/31 page 97 Urgent appeals 463. The Special Rapporteur sent an urgent appeal on 22 July 1993 on behalf of Noh Tae-hun, a human rights activist who was reportedly arrested by officers of the Security Division of the National Police Administration in the early evening of 15 July 1993, while he was visiting the office of his lawyer. The warrant of arrest shown by the police was reportedly incorrectly filled in. When the lawyers urged the police officers to follow the correct legal procedures, they were reportedly beaten and threatened. 464. With respect to this case the Government replied on 5 August 1993 that the warrant of arrest for Mr. Noh was issued by a judge of the Seoul Criminal District Court on 15 July 1993. The form of the warrant was correct. It showed the place of detention (Yongsan police station) and a summary of charges against him. From 15 to 23 July, Mr. Noh was detained at Yongsan police station for interrogation. During that period, he met his attorneys every day and his family members six times. Since 23 July 1993, Mr. Noh had been in custody at the Seoul detention centre pending trial. He was not restricted from meeting his attorneys or family members. 465. On 24 September 1993 the Special Rapporteur sent another urgent appeal on behalf of Kim Sam-sok and his sister Kim Un-ju, who were reportedly arrested without warrants on 8 September 1993 by the Agency for National Security Planning under the National Security Law. It was also alleged that they were beaten and deprived of sleep during interrogations. According to family members who were permitted brief access to the detainees, they were in a trance-like state. 466. With respect to this case the Government replied, on 22 October 1993, that on 8 September 1993 Kim Un-ju had been arrested on suspicion of engaging in espionage activity; a warrant of arrest had been issued on 10 September 1993. He and his sister had been detained at Jungbu police station for interrogation. On 24 September their cases had been transmitted to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Seoul Criminal District. At the time of the reply they were in custody at the Seoul detention centre pending indictment and trial. They had been treated humanely during interrogations. No complaint had been filed by their family members or attorney with regard to their treatment while in detention. Information received from the Government on cases included in previous reports 467.
