CAT/C/54/D/491/2012 the letters issued by OLF-European Regional Office, which were submitted by the complainant during the domestic proceedings, do not contain any concrete reference to her political activities in Switzerland. On the other hand, the letter issued by OLF-Switzerland states that she is an active member of the organization and participates mainly through monthly contributions, fund-raising activities, monthly meetings and promotion of Oromo cultural activities. Hence, the authorities consider that she has not played any major or important role in the organization, as was confirmed by her statements during the interviews under the second asylum proceedings. 4.7 The State party submits that the Ethiopian authorities are focusing on individuals whose activities go beyond “usual behaviour”, or who exercise a particular function or activity that could pose a threat to the Ethiopian regime. However, the complainant presented no political profile when she arrived in Switzerland and the State party deems it reasonable to exclude that she subsequently developed such a profile. The State party maintains that the documents produced by the complainant do not show any activity in Switzerland that would attract the attention of the Ethiopian authorities. The fact that the complainant is identified in photographs and video recordings is not sufficient to demonstrate that she would be at risk of persecution if returned to Ethiopia. It would be difficult, for obvious practical reasons, to identify the participants in a large demonstration if they are not previously known to the Ethiopian authorities. 4.8 The State party maintains that numerous political demonstrations are attended by the complainant’s compatriots in Switzerland and in other countries; photographs or video recordings showing, sometimes, hundreds of people are made publicly available by the relevant media; and it is unlikely that the Ethiopian authorities can identify each person, or that they even have knowledge of the affiliation of the complainant with the above organization. 4.9 The State party submits that there is no evidence that the Ethiopian authorities have opened criminal proceedings against the complainant or that they have adopted other measures against her. 4.10 The State party submits that, in the light of the above, there is no indication that substantial grounds exist for believing that the complainant’s return to Ethiopia would expose her to a “foreseeable, real and personal risk” of torture. It invites the Committee to find that the return of the complainant to Ethiopia would not constitute a violation of the international obligations of Switzerland under article 3 of the Convention. Complainant’s comments on the State party’s observations 5.1 On 30 October 2012, the complainant submitted her comments on the State party’s observations. She asserts that the human rights situation in Ethiopia has not improved and that the authorities have tried to brutally suppress dissidents. Journalists and opposition leaders have been imprisoned under the Anti-Terrorism Proclamation. During 2011 and 2012, over 100 journalists and political opposition members were arrested and prosecuted on charges of terrorism and other offences, including treason. In general, human rights violations, including torture, arbitrary detention and forced evictions, are still widespread, but are seriously underreported in Ethiopia. Perpetrators of human rights violations are not brought to justice and punished.12 12 The complainant refers to United Kingdom, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Human Rights and Democracy: The 2011 Foreign and Commonwealth Office Report – Quarterly Updates: Ethiopia, 30 September 2012; and Amnesty International, Ethiopia must improve its human rights record to be credible candidate for election to the Human Rights Council, 28 August 2012. 7
