A/HRC/19/61/Add.4 Indonesia JUA 17/02/2011 Case No. IDN 1/2011 State reply: None to date Alleged harassment and attacks against the Ahmadiyyah community. 70. The Special Rapporteur regrets that the Government of Indonesia has not responded to this communication, thereby failing to cooperate with the mandate issued by the Human Rights Council. The communication referred to allegations of attacks against and other illtreatment of members of the Ahmadiyya community on 6 February 2011. The Special Rapporteur reiterates that article 12 of the Convention against Torture requires the competent authorities to undertake a prompt and impartial investigation wherever there are reasonable grounds to believe that torture has been committed, and article 7 of the same Convention requires State parties to prosecute suspected perpetrators of torture. Based on the information received, the Special Rapporteur determines that the rights of the aforementioned Ahmadiyya community under the UN Convention against Torture have been violated. The Special Rapporteur calls on the Government to immediately conduct a full investigation and prosecution of those responsible, and ensure that members of the Ahmadiyya community obtain redress, including fair and adequate compensation, and as full rehabilitation as possible. Iran (Islamic Republic of) (a) JUA 23/12/2010 Case No. IRN 35/2010 State reply: None to date Alleged arrest and detention of lawyer and human rights activist. 71. The Special Rapporteur regrets that the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has failed to reply to this communication regarding the alleged arrest and detention of Ms. Nasrin Sotoudeh, a lawyer and human rights activist. According to the information received, since her arrest and detention on 4 September 2010, Ms. Sotoudeh has been held in periods of solitary confinement. In paragraphs 79 and 80 of the Special Rapporteur‟s report A/66/268, it is stressed that “solitary confinement is a harsh measure which may cause serious psychological and physiological adverse effects on individuals regardless of their specific conditions”. Moreover, “[d]epending on the specific reason for its application, conditions, length, effects and other circumstances, solitary confinement can amount to a breach of article 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and to an act defined in article 1 or article 16 of the Convention against Torture. In addition, the use of solitary confinement increases the risk that acts of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment will go undetected and unchallenged.” Based on the information received, the Special Rapporteur determines that Ms. Sotoudeh‟s rights under international standards prohibiting torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment have likely been violated, and calls on the Government to cease the isolation of Ms. Sotoudeh and ensure that she obtains redress, including fair and adequate compensation, and as full rehabilitation as possible.

The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for its response to this communication regarding the alleged solitary confinement and imposition of the death penalty on Mr. Habibollah Latifi on the charge of morarebeh (enmity against God) and other security-related crimes. Regrettably, the Government‟s response failed to address the allegation that Mr. Latifi has been held in solitary confinement since 16 January 2010.
