A/HRC/19/61/Add.4 concerning the liberty, security and the dignity of the person and to ensure that secret places of detention and interrogation are abolished.” Based on the information received, the Special Rapporteur determines that Mr. Salem‟s rights under the UN Convention against Torture have been violated, and calls on the Government to investigate his disappearance, prosecute those responsible and ensure that Mr. Salem obtains redress, including fair and adequate compensation, and as full rehabilitation as possible. (b) JUA 12/01/2011 Case No. EGY 2/2011 State reply: 18/11/2011 Alleged arbitrary detention and torture. 48. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Egypt for its response to this communication regarding allegations of arbitrary detention and torture of Mr. Adel Mahmoud Diab, but makes note that its untimely response did not fall within the requested period of time. Regrettably, the Government‟s response failed to fully explain the justification for and the conditions of Mr. Diab‟s detention between 12 December 2009 and February 2011. The Special Rapporteur notes that paragraph 1 of Human Rights Council Resolution 16/23 of 12 April 2011 “[c]ondemns all forms of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, including through intimidation, which are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever and can thus never be justified, and calls upon all States to implement fully the absolute and non-derogable prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” Moreover, paragraph 8(b) of Human Rights Council Resolution 16/23 reminds 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, and urges all States to respect the safeguards concerning the liberty, security and the dignity of the person and to ensure that secret places of detention and interrogation are abolished.” Accordingly, based on the information received, the Special Rapporteur determines that Mr. Diab‟s rights under the UN Convention against Torture have been violated. The Special Rapporteur calls on the Government to ensure that Mr. Diab obtains redress, including fair and adequate compensation, and as full rehabilitation as possible. (c) JUA 28/01/2011 Case No. EGY 3/2011 State reply: disappearance. 01/12/2011 Alleged enforced 49. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Egypt for its response to this communication regarding allegations of enforced disappearance of Mr. Mohamed Abdo, but makes note that its untimely response did not fall within the requested period of time. Regrettably, the Government‟s response failed to fully explain the justification for and the conditions of Mr. Abdo‟s detention between 5 January 2011 and 23 March 2011. The Special Rapporteur considers enforced disappearance a form of incommunicado detention and reiterates that paragraph 8(b) of Human Rights Council Resolution 16/23 reminds 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, and urges all States to respect the safeguards concerning the liberty, security and the dignity of the person and to ensure that secret places of detention and interrogation are abolished.” Based on the information received, the Special Rapporteur determines that Mr. Abdo‟s rights under the UN Convention against Torture have been violated, and calls on the Government to ensure that Mr. Abdo obtains redress, including fair and adequate compensation, and as full rehabilitation as possible. 23
