A/HRC/36/31 expressed their concerns about the possible link between those acts and the members having cooperated with the Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights during his visit to the country (A/HRC/34/75, para. 10, MRT 2/2016). 13. Mexico 41. On 4 August 2015, the Committee against Torture, in Ramirez et al. v. Mexico, found violations of articles 1, 2 (1), 12-15 and 22 of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (see CAT/C/55/D/500/2012). On 19 May and 19 September 2016, the complainants submitted that they had suffered acts of intimidation and harassment by the authorities as a result of the Committee’s decision. The acts allegedly took the form of a campaign aimed at stigmatizing the complainants as criminals and revictimizing them. The Committee has transmitted the complainant’s submission to the State party for observations (see CAT/C/59/3, paras. 23-24). 14. Morocco 42. On 3 August 2016, the Committee against Torture, in Abdul Rahman Alhaj Ali v. Morocco, found that the extradition of Abdul Rahman Alhaj Ali would constitute a breach of article 3 of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (see CAT/C/58/D/682/2015). The complainant, a Syrian national registered with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and seeking asylum in Morocco, was detained in Morocco in October 2014 on an extradition request by Saudi Arabia for “breach of trust” based on previous business relations in Riyadh. Abdul Rahman Alhaj Ali was in extradition detention for almost two years, far in excess of the 60-day pretrial period provided for in Morocco, when the Committee issued the decision. According to information received by the Committee, the prolongation of his detention was reportedly related to the complaint made to the Committee on his behalf on 22 May 2015. On 10 March 2017, in the light of the gravity of the complainant’s allegations, the Committee’s rapporteurs on reprisals and follow-up requested the State party urgently to provide the Committee with clarifications on the situation of the complainant by 31 March 2017. 15. Myanmar 43. Special procedure mandate holders have received allegations of intimidation and reprisals against individuals who have engaged with the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar during her visits to the country. They have been in contact with the Government on the matter (see A/HRC/34/75, para. 10, MMR 2/2016). For example, it is alleged that the arrest and detention of Khine Myo Htun, a political and environmental activist, was linked to his cooperation with the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, with whom he met during her visit in June 2016 shortly before he was detained. Mr. Htun, who is also an official of the Arakan Liberation Party, had issued a written statement criticizing the impact of State military actions on civilians in Rakhine State in the ongoing conflict in that region. 44. The Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar also addressed the issue in her end-of-mission statement of 21 July 2016 and in a press release on 24 January 2017.5 She reiterated that the Government of Myanmar must ensure the safety of all her interlocutors and guarantee that they would not face any reprisals, including threats, harassment, punishment or judicial proceedings. The Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights addressed the allegations with the Government in June 2017. 45. Following reports of reprisals against persons cooperating with various entities of the United Nations, the Human Rights Council emphasized in its resolution 34/22 on the human rights situation in Myanmar that no one should face reprisals, monitoring, surveillance, threats, harassment or intimidation for cooperating or speaking with special procedures, including the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, the international independent fact-finding mission or the United Nations. It called upon the 5 10 OHCHR, “UN human rights expert concerned about reprisals during recent visit to Myanmar”, press release, 24 January 2017.
