Qatar
JUA 11/03/2011 Case No. QAT 1/2011 State reply: 30/03/2011 Alleged detention of
human rights defender.
129. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Qatar for its reply, dated 30
March 2011, to this communication regarding the alleged detention conditions of Mr.
Sultan al-Khalaifi. In its reply dated 30 March 2011, the Government of Qatar failed to
report on the fate or whereabouts of Mr. Sultan al-Khalaifi. The Special Rapporteur
reminds the Government that paragraph 8(b) of Human Rights Council Resolution 16/23 of
12 April 2011 states that, “[p]rolonged incommunicado detention or detention in secret
places can facilitate the perpetration of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading
treatment or punishment and can in itself constitute a form of such treatment.” In the
absence of evidence to the contrary, the Special Rapporteur determines that the rights of
Mr. Sultan al-Khalaifi under the UN Convention against Torture have been violated. The
Special Rapporteur calls on the Government of Qatar to ensure the physical and mental
integrity of Mr. Sultan al-Khalaifi, to undertake a prompt and impartial investigation
leading to prosecution and punishment of the perpetrators, and to provide full redress to the
victim.
Republic of Korea
JUA 12/05/2011 Case No. KOR 2/2011 State reply: 27/06/2011 Alleged risk of
deportation to Uzbekistan.
130. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of the Republic of Korea for its
reply dated 27 June 2011 in response to the communication of 12 May 2011 regarding the
alleged risk of deportation of Mr. Abdoolla Raviev. The Government of the Republic of
Korea informed that Mr. Raviev's case was rejected because his claim of future torture if
deported was not found credible by the Ministry of Justice on 17 June 2009, and was
subsequently rejected on appeal on 10 August 2009, and again rejected under an
administrative lawsuit on 24 June 2010, the decision of the Seoul High Court of 19 January
2011, and the Supreme Court of Korea on 28 April 2011. The Government indicated that
Mr. Raviev was repatriated to Uzbekistan on 18 May 2011, and that Mr. Raviev's
deportation had been suspended for 3 years to give time for a thorough investigation of Mr.
Raviev's claim after he had overstayed his visa in 2009. In its reply, the Government of the
Republic of Korea did not address the allegation that some of Mr. Raviev's family members
were arrested.
