8.7 In the Committee's view, the complainant has failed to adduce evidence about the
conduct of any political activity of such significance as would still attract the interest of the
Iranian authorities. Nor has he submitted other tangible evidence to demonstrate that he
continues to be at a personal risk of torture if returned to Iran. For these reasons, the
Committee concludes that the complainant has failed to substantiate his claim that he would
face a foreseeable, real and personal risk of being subjected to torture upon his return to Iran.
9.
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 removal of the complainant to Iran would not constitute a breach of article 3 of the
Convention.
