South Sudan JUA 24/09/2015 Case No. SSD 3/2015 State Reply: None to date Allegations concerning the arbitrary detention, torture, and enforced disappearance of human rights journalist Mr. Clement Lochio Lormonana and two other individuals by the South Sudanese security forces. 504. The Special Rapporteur regrets that the Government of South Sudan has not replied to the present communication, thereby failing to cooperate with the mandate issued by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 25/13. 505. In the absence of information to the contrary, the Rapporteur concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in the initial communication, available via the link above, and thus that the Government of South Sudan, by arbitrarily detaining and failing to protect the physical and psychological integrity of Mr. Lormonana and two other individuals, and by forcibly disappearing Mr. Lormonana and one other individual, has violated their right to be free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, as provided by articles 1, 2, and 16 of the Convention Against Torture. The Special Rapporteur strongly urges the Government of South Sudan to protect the right of Mr. Lormonana and one other individual to be free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, to take all necessary measures to investigate these allegations per Article 12, to undertake an impartial review of their allegations under Article 13, and to refrain from using any confessions gained through torture, per Article 15. 506. The Rapporteur further calls on the Government of South Sudan to undertake a prompt, independent, and effective investigation into the allegations of torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, and enforced disappearance of Mr. Lormonana and one other individual, leading to the prosecution and punishment of the perpetrators, to provide full redress to the victims, and undertake effective measures to prevent the recurrence of these acts. The Rapporteur expects to be kept fully informed of the outcome of the investigation and proceedings.

El Relator Especial agradece al Gobierno de España por su respuesta – recibida el 31 de marzo de 2015 -- a la comunicación de fecha 28 de julio de 2014. En esa respuesta, el Gobierno informa que el mencionado proyecto de ley ha sido retirado y nunca fue tramitado. El Relator Especial acoge con beneplácito la decisión del Estado español. 508. De igual forma quisiéramos hacer referencia al último informe temático del Relator Especial sobre la tortura (A/HRC/22/53) en el que concluye que la práctica de negar servicios reproductivos cuando el aborto está legalmente disponible incrementa de hecho el número de abortos inseguros, exponiendo a las mujeres a consecuencias graves y duraderas para su salud física y mental, incluyendo el riesgo de muerte y discapacidad.
