Committee notes that the ground for which the complainant was allegedly previously tortured no longer exists, as the BNP is in effect now the ruling party in Bangladesh. Furthermore, the complainant has not submitted information or arguments to substantiate that he personally would be at risk of torture if he were to be imprisoned after his return to Bangladesh. In the circumstances, the Committee observes that the complaint, as formulated, does not give rise to any arguable claim under the Convention. 4.3Accordingly, the Committee finds, in accordance with article 22 of the Convention and rule 107 (b) of its revised rules of procedure, that the complaint is manifestly unfounded, because the facts argued by the complainant, even if they proved to be true, do not present a prima facie case concerning rights under the Convention. Thus, the Committee finds the complaint to be inadmissible. 5.Accordingly, the Committee decides: (a)That the complaint is inadmissible; and (b)That this decision will be transmitted to the author and, for information, to the State party.
