be personally at risk. Similarly, the absence of a consistent pattern of gross
violations of human rights does not mean that a person cannot be considered
to be in danger of being subjected to torture in his or her specific
circumstances.
7.4 The Committee notes the arguments developed by both parties and
considers that the author has not given any satisfactory explanation for the
contradictions between his different statements to the Dutch immigration
authorities. It notes that he fulfilled his military obligation without any
appreciable problems and finds that he has not demonstrated that his later
activities in the Netherlands could draw the attention of the Turkish
authorities to the extent that he would risk being tortured were he removed
to Turkey.
7.5 The Committee concludes that the author has not furnished sufficient
evidence to substantiate his claim that he would run a personal, real and
foreseeable risk of being tortured if he were sent back to his country of
origin.
8. As a consequence, the Committee against Torture, acting under article 22,
paragraph 7, of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or
Degrading treatment or punishment, is of the view that the facts as found by
the Committee do not constitute a breach of article 3 of the Convention.
