CAT/C/53/D/450/2011 country’s security services enjoy complete impunity for acts of torture and that torture and ill-treatment are widespread in Yemeni prisons (CAT/C/YEM/CO/2/Rev.1, para. 8). Consequently, the Committee considers that the complainant faces a foreseeable, real and personal risk of being arrested and tortured again if returned to Yemen, where he is regarded as a fugitive, even if the charges against him, the proof of those charges and his conviction in absentia are not known with any certainty. 8. In the light of the above, 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 State party’s return of the complainant to Yemen would constitute a breach of article 3 of the Convention. 9. Pursuant to rule 118, paragraph 5, of its rules of procedure, the Committee invites the State party to inform it, within 90 days from the date of the transmittal of this decision, of the steps it has taken in response to the observations made above. 12 GE.15-00369
