CAT/C/43/D/348/2008 by the villagers, apart from being unlikely, cannot be attributed to the Ivorian authorities. With regard to the risk of torture by the authorities, the Committee notes the absence of objective evidence pointing to the existence of such risk other than the complainant’s own account. It also notes that the complainant has at no time sought the protection of the Ivorian authorities. 7.5 The Committee considers that, based on all the information submitted, the complainant has not provided sufficient evidence to allow it to consider that his return to Côte d’Ivoire would put him at a real, present and personal risk of being subjected to torture. 8. The Committee against Torture, acting under article 22, paragraph 7, of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, concludes that the deportation of the complainant to Côte d’Ivoire would not constitute a breach of article 3 of the Convention.
