A/HRC/25/60/Add.2 she submitted a complaint to the Government alleging interference in the administration of justice by a member of Parliament. Shortly after her arrest, Ms. Moukhortova underwent a psychiatric examination, was diagnosed with a “delusional disorder,” and found guilty of the aforementioned charges. From August 2010 to September 2011, Ms. Moukhortova continued to be detained in prison facilities and in the Aktas regional psychiatric hospital, and was only released in September 2011. In September 2012, Ms. Moukhortova was forcibly taken to the Blakhash psychiatric clinic on August 9, 2013. As of the time of this communication, Ms. Moukhortova remained hospitalized against her will and it was alleged that her lawyer was refused permission to visit her. In the case of Mr. Aleksandr Kharlamov, it is reported that in March 2013 he was arrested and detained on charges of “incitement of social, national, ethic, racial or religious hatred,” after a determination by the Forensic Science Institute of East Kazakhstan that his writings aimed at inciting religious hatred. After a psychiatric examination at the Republican Scientific/Practical Center if Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Narcology in Almaty found Mr. Kharlamov sane, he was moved to a pre-trial detention center (SIZO) and his case was referred for further investigations on the basis of article 202 of the Criminal Procedure Code on changing the charges/indictment. Concern was expressed that given the lack of a criminal case against Mr. Kharlamov, authorities may have shifted their focus to detaining him on grounds of insanity. Mr. Kharlamov reportedly remained in detention at the time of this communication. In this context, the Special Rapporteur reiterates that each Government has the obligation to protect the right to physical and mental integrity of all persons, set forth inter alia in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. The Special Rapporteur additionally wishes to recall the absolute prohibition of torture and ill-treatment, as reiterated in paragraph 1 of Human Rights Council Resolution 16/23, adopted in April 2011, which “Condemns all forms of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, including through intimidation, which are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever and can thus never be justified, and calls upon all States to implement fully the absolute and non-derogable prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” Regarding the alleged temporary psychiatric confinement of Mr. Kharlamov and forced psychiatric hospitalization of Ms. Moukhortova, the Special Rapporteur would also like to draw the Government’s attention to his 2013 report (A/HRC/22/53) to the Human Rights Council, which states in paragraph 64 that both the mandate and United Nations treaty bodies have established that involuntary treatment and other psychiatric interventions in health-care facilities can constitute forms of torture and ill-treatment (A/63/175, paras. 44, 47, 61, 63; Human Rights Committee, communication No. 110/1981) and that to the extent that they inflict severe pain and suffering, they violate the absolute prohibition of torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment (A/63/175, paras. 38, 40, 41). The Special Rapporteur urges the Government to take all necessary measures to safeguard the physical and psychological integrity and fundamental rights of all persons.
