CCPR/C/133/D/2623/2015 Advance unedited version 7.7 The Committee considers that the information at its disposal demonstrates that the State party took into account all claims raised by the author before its domestic authorities and all elements available when evaluating the risks invoked by the author and that the author has not identified any irregularity in the decision-making process. The Committee further considers that, while the author disagrees with the factual conclusions of the State party authorities, he has not shown that their decisions were clearly arbitrary or amounted to a manifest error or denial of justice. Consequently, the Committee considers that the evidence and circumstances invoked by the author have not adduced sufficient grounds for demonstrating that he would run a real and personal risk of being subjected to treatment contrary to articles 6 and 7 of the Covenant if returned to Iran. In view thereof, the Committee is not able to conclude that the information before it shows that the author’s rights under articles 6 and 7 of the Covenant would be violated if he were to be removed to Iran. 8. The Committee, acting under article 5 (4) of the Optional Protocol, is of the view that the facts before it do not permit it to conclude that the author’s removal to Iran would, if implemented, violate his rights under articles 6 and 7 of the Covenant. 10
