A/HRC/31/57/Add.1 the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (note no. 119/15 of 29 April 2015 – see link above) in their separate regular procedure. 543. The Rapporteur regrets the lack of any information regarding the physical and psychological integrity of Mr. Bassel Khartabil, and therefore concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in the initial communication, available via the link above. The Government of Syria, by failing to protect the physical and psychological integrity of Mr. Bassel Khartabil and subjecting him to incommunicado detention, has violated his right to be free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, as provided for, inter alia, Articles 1, 2 and 16 of the Convention Against Torture (CAT). Thailand (a) JUA 12/02/2015 Case No. THA 1/2015 State Reply: 17/02/2015 Allegations concerning the situation of a group of several hundred individuals, claiming to be Turks, who continue to be held in various immigration detention centers (IDCs) and the shelters of the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security (MSDHS) in Thailand and remain at risk of deportation to China, where they may face arbitrary detention, torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, and enforced disappearance. 544. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Thailand for its reply, 17.02.2015, to the present communication. 545. The Rapporteur takes note of the information provided by the Government of Thailand, that the letter has been forwarded to the relevant agencies in Thailand and that the Government is conducting an investigation on the case. The Rapporteur however finds that the Government, in its reply, does not sufficiently address the concerns, legal obligations, and questions raised in the initial communication, which prompts him to infer that the Government fails to fully and expeditiously cooperate with the mandate issued by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 25/13. 546. In the absence of sufficient information to the contrary, the Rapporteur concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in the initial communication and thus, that the Kingdom of Thailand by failing to protect the physical and psychological integrity of these individuals, has violated their right to be free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, as provided by articles 1 and 16 of the CAT. 547. The Rapporteur furthermore strongly urges the Government of Thailand to refrain from extraditing these detained persons to any country where they would be at risk of torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, thereby ensuring compliance with article 3 of the CAT. (b) JUA 21/05/2015 Case No. THA 3/2015 State Reply: 22/05/2015 Allegation concerning “push back” policies of migrants and asylum seekers from Myanmar and Bangladesh in the Bay of Bengal. 548. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Thailand for its reply, dated 22 May 2015, to the present communication. 549. The Rapporteur welcomes the information provided by the Government underscoring its commitment to assist displaced persons and migrants at sea on humanitarian considerations and will not push them back and takes note of the scheduled hosting of a meeting regarding irregular migration with several affected states and relevant international organisations on 29 May 2015. In spite of the information provided by the Government, the Rapporteur regrets that the reply did not fully address the concerns in the initial 92
