to the Convention to examine the conduct of a case, unless it can be ascertained that the
manner in which the evidence was evaluated was clearly arbitrary or amounted to a denial of
justice, or that the officers had clearly violated their obligations of impartiality. In this case,
the material before the Committee does not show that the State party’s review of the
complainant’s case suffered from such defects.
7.7 Finally, the Committee, whilst noting with concern the numerous reports of human
rights violations, including the use of torture, in Iran, must reiterate that for the purposes of
article 3 of the Convention, the individual concerned must face a foreseeable, real and
personal risk of being tortured. On the basis of the above, the Committee considers that the
complainant has not substantiated that she would personally face such a real and imminent
risk of being subjected to torture upon her return to Iran.
7.8 The Committee Against Torture, acting under article 22, paragraph 7, of the
Convention, considers that the complainant has not substantiated her claim that she would be
subjected to torture upon return to Iran and therefore concludes that the complainant’s
removal to that country would not constitute a breach of article 3 of the Convention.
