Furthermore the Government explains that Li Wangyanghas not received inhuman treatment during his incarceration but suffered from multiple serious illnesses prior to his arrest. According to the Government, the hospital diagnosed hyperthyroidism, thyroid heart disease, and secondary blindness in both eyes and deafness. After various treatments, his situation has shown slight improvement. Finally, the Government informed that Li Wangyang‟s relatives enjoy freedom of movement and have not been arrested or incarcerated. After the Li Wangyang incident, Li‟s relatives issued a written statement to the public stating that they do not wish to interact with the outside world and that they do not wish to be disturbed and give any interviews. The Special Rapporteur reiterates paragraph l of Human Rights Council Resolution 16/23, which “[c]ondemns 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.” Based on the information received, the Special Rapporteur determines that the cause of death of Mr. Wangyang has been investigated by the Government. However, no substantive explanation with regard to the allegations of torture and ill-treatment during the 23 years of incarceration has been provided by the Government. The Special Rapportuer determines that in absence of evidence ot the contrary international standards prohibiting torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment have been violated.

(f) JUA 13/07/2012 Case No. CHN 7/2012 State reply: 28/09/2012 Alleged arbitrary deprivation of liberty and ill-treatment of 17 year old girl 25. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of China for its reply, dated September 28, 2012, to this communication in reference to the alleged arrest and beating of Ms. X by security personnel during a peaceful protest. However, the Government‟s reply did not address Ms. X‟s case, claiming that another young woman of Tibetan origin and of similar name but 19 years of age was indeed arrested in Szechuan for calling for the independence of Tibet. The government acknowledged that this other woman sustained a light injury in the course of the arrest. In the absence of other information, the Special Rapporteur finds that Ms. Dolma, an under-age young woman, was indeed detained and mistreated in the circumstances mentioned. The Special Rapporteur recalls article 37(b) of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) “[n]o child shall be deprived of his or her liberty unlawfully or arbitrarily. The arrest, detention or imprisonment of a child shall be in conformity with the law and shall be used only as a measure of last resort and for the shortest appropriate period of time”. In addition, paragraph l of Human Rights Council Resolution 16/23 “[c]ondemns 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.” Based on the information received, the Special Rapporteur determines that Ms. X‟s rights under the UN Convention against Torture and under the Convention on the Rights of the Child were violated, and calls on the Government to release Ms. X immediately, undertake a prompt and impartial investigation of the alleged torture leading to prosecution and punishment of perpetrators, and to provide full redress to Ms. X.
