A/HRC/19/61/Add.4 prosecution and punishment of the perpetrators, and to provide redress to the victims and their family members. (c) JUA 12/04/2011 Case No. BHR 5/2011 State reply: 07/06/2011 Alleged incommunicado detention and possible enforced disappearance. 16. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Bahrain for its reply, dated 7 June 2011, in response to this communication in reference to the alleged incommunicado detention and possible enforced disappearance of Mr. Abdulhadi Alkawaja, as well as Messrs. Wafi Almajid and Hussein Ahmed. In its reply, the Government of Bahrain indicated that Mr. Alkhawaja was arrested and questioned on charges of “knowingly becoming a member of a terrorist group; attempting with the help of others to overthrow the monarchy and change the State Constitution; promoting political change in Bahrain through the use of force; and spreading false information and malicious rumours with a view to disrupting public security and damaging public interests,” as well as “inciting individuals to break the law; facilitating the commission of crimes; insulting the Armed Forces; instigating sectarian hatred; and organizing, taking part in and inviting others to join unauthorized rallies.” The Government's report provided information regarding the charges brought, the circumstances of the arrest, the public prosecutor's assessment of the injuries, and the National Security Court Proceedings against Mr. Alkhawaja. However, the Government of Bahrain did not respond to allegations that Mr. Alkhawaja had been subjected to torture and ill-treatment during detention. Based on the information provided, the Special Rapporteur concludes that the rights of Mr. Abdulhadi Alkhawaja under the UN Convention against Torture have been violated, and calls on the Government of Bahrain to undertake a prompt and impartial investigation of the alleged acts of torture, and to provide redress. If Mr. Alkhawaja is to be tried, the Government must ensure that any evidence against him obtained under torture is declared inadmissible. Messrs. Yusuf Abdullah and Hussein Akbar, Mr. Abdulhadi Alkhawaja, Mr. Mohamed Al-Maskati, and Ms. Zainab AlKhawaja were the subject of earlier communications (see A/HRC/13/22/Add. 1, para 103; A/HRC/7/28/Add. 1, para 59; A/HRC/4/37/Add. 1 para 33; A/HRC/16/44/Add. 1 para 90; A/HRC/10/12/Add. 1, para 158).
