The Committee also takes note of the decision of the Federal Administrative Tribunal cited by the complainant, in which it granted asylum to a member of the Democratic Association for Refugees who held, like him, a position as a cantonal representative for the Association.24 9.10 Consequently, and in the light of the general human rights situation in the Islamic Republic of Iran that particularly affects human rights defenders and members of the opposition seeking to exercise their right to freedom of expression, and in view of the complainant’s political opposition activities in Switzerland, which could suggest that he has attracted the attention of the Iranian authorities, the Committee considers that there are substantial grounds for believing that the complainant risks being subjected to torture if returned to the Islamic Republic of Iran. 10. The Committee against Torture, acting under article 22, paragraph 7, of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, concludes that the deportation of the complainant to the Islamic Republic of Iran would amount to a breach of article 3 of the Convention. 11. The Committee urges the State party, in accordance with rule 112, paragraph 5, of its rules of procedure, to inform it, within 90 days from the date of the transmittal of this decision, of the steps taken in response to the decision expressed above.
