CAT/C/55/D/522/2012 the individual case. 20 Given that no prompt and impartial investigation was undertaken despite the complainant’s numerous claims that he was tortured, which were corroborated by several pieces of evidence that have not been refuted by the State party, the Committee concludes that the latter has breached its obligations under article 14 of the Convention. 8. The Committee, acting under article 22, paragraph 7, of the Convention, is of the view that the facts before it reveal a violation of articles 1 and 2 (para. 1), read in conjunction with article 1, and articles 11, 12, 13, 14 and 16 of the Convention. 9. Pursuant to rule 118, paragraph 5, of its rules of procedure, the Committee urges the State party to: (a) conduct an impartial investigation into the incidents in question, with a view to bringing to justice those responsible for the complainant ’s treatment; (b) grant the complainant appropriate reparation, including measures of compensation for the material and psychological harm caused, restitution, rehabilitation, satisfaction and guarantees of non-repetition; (c) take all necessary steps to prevent any threats or acts of violence to which the complainant or his family might be exposed, in particular as a result of having lodged the present complaint; and (d) inform the Committee, within 90 days from the date of the transmittal of this decision, of the steps it has taken in response to the views expressed above, including compensation for the complainant. __________________ 20 GE.15-16176 See Bendib v.
