of Tek Nath Rizal cannot be said to be arbitrary and in violation of articles
9, 10 and 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and articles 9, 14
and 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. There is
also nothing to suggest that the trial of Tek Nath Rizal was not fair and in

adequate opportunity to defend himself and the accepted rules of a fair trial
were not violated.

In the light of the above the Working Group decides the following:
-
The detention of Tek Nath Rizal is not held to be in contravention
of articles 9, 10 and 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights and articles 9, 14 and 19 of the International Covenant on
Civil and Political Rights, and is therefore declared not to be
arbitrary.
