I. Introduction

1. This addendum to the report of the Special Rapporteur contains, on a country-by-

country basis, summaries of reliable and credible allegations of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment that were brought to the attention of the Special Rapporteur, and were transmitted to the Governments concerned. It also contains replies from Governments. This addendum does not illustrate the state of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment throughout the world, but rather reflects the state of information brought to the attention of the Special Rapporteur.

2. The Special Rapporteur would like to recall that in transmitting these allegations to

Governments, he does not make any judgement concerning the merits of the cases, nor does he support the opinion and activities of the persons on behalf of whom he intervenes. The prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment is a non-derogable right, and every human being is legally and morally entitled to protection. When the Special Rapporteur receives reliable and credible information that gives grounds to fear that a person may be at risk of torture or other forms of ill-treatment, he may transmit an urgent appeal to the Government concerned. The communications sent by the Special Rapporteur have a humanitarian and preventive purpose, and do not require the exhaustion of domestic remedies. Governments are requested to clarify the substance of the allegations, take steps to protect the person's rights, and are urged to investigate the allegations and prosecute and impose appropriate sanctions on any persons guilty of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

3. During the period 21 December 2009 to 1 December 2010, the Special Rapporteur

sent a total of 203 communications, consisting of 66 letters of allegations of torture to 34 Governments and 137 urgent appeals to 53 Governments on behalf of persons who might be at risk of torture or other forms of ill-treatment. Government responses received up to 30 January 2011 have been included. The responses received after that date will be duly reflected in a future communications report.

4. The Special Rapporteur appreciates the timely responses received from

Governments to the letters and urgent appeals transmitted. He regrets that many Governments fail to respond, or do so selectively, and that responses to older cases remain outstanding in large part.

5. Owing to restrictions on the length of documents, the Special Rapporteur has been

obliged to reduce considerably details of communications sent and received, with attention given to information relating specifically to allegations of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. As a result, requests from Governments to publish their replies in their totality could not be acceded to. Moreover, attention is given to information in Government replies specifically relating to the allegations, particularly information on the following: (a) What steps were taken to ascertain the veracity of the facts alleged? (b) Has a complaint been lodged by or on behalf of the alleged victim? (c) The details, and where available the results, of any investigation, medical examinations, and judicial or other inquiries carried out in relation to the case. (d) Full details of any prosecutions which have been undertaken (e.g. penal, disciplinary or administrative sanctions imposed on the alleged perpetrator(s)). (e) What compensation and rehabilitation have been provided to the victim or the family of the victim?

nombreuses femmes vivant seules et travaillant dans les bases pétrolifères de Hassi-Messaoud auraient été l'objet d'agressions régulières perpétrées durant la nuit. Leurs maisons et appartements auraient été saccagés et pillés par des hommes armés de gourdins, de haches, de couteaux, leurs têtes encagoulées ou même, à visages découverts. Les informations reçues indiquent que, dans plusieurs cas, des policiers auraient refusé d'enregistrer leurs plaintes et auraient eu une attitude teintée d'indifférence à leur égard. Des informations reçues indiquent aussi qu'une femme a été brûlée vive et se trouve actuellement dans le coma à l'hôpital de

Ouargla.

Les informations reçues indiquent que ces

actes sont récurrents et similaires aux événements du 13 juillet 2001 quand plusieurs centaines d'hommes s'en sont pris violemment

à un groupe de 39 femmes qui auraient choisi

de vivre seules après que l'imam de la mosquée locale les aurait qualifiées de prostituées. Ces hommes auraient soumis presque toutes ces femmes à des violences physiques et sexuelles et pillé leur logement.

Seules 3 personnes parmi les accusés auraient

réellement purgé leurs peines tandis que les autres auraient été condamnés par contumace ou innocentés. Aucun n'aurait été condamné pour viol. 2. 24/08/10 JAL WGAD; FRDX; HRD; TOR Concernant l'interdiction imposée aux mères de WGEIDaru(e)s de se réunir pacifiquement et la répression brutale d'une manifestation pacifique.

WGEIDaru(e)s de se rassembler pacifiquement

devant cette instance, comme elles le font tous les mercredis depuis le 2 août 1998.

Une semaine plus tard, le 11 août 2010, une

quarantaine de mères de WGEIDaru(e)s et de sympathisants auraient tenté de se réunir à nouveau. Des policiers et gendarmes auraient alors fait usage de la force pour réprimer cette manifestation. M. Slimane Hamitouche aurait été jeté à terre par plusieurs policiers et aurait reçu de leur part des coups de poings à la tête et des coups de pieds. Mme Nassera Dutour aurait également été frappée par plusieurs policiers et souffrirait aujourd'hui de courbatures et d'hématomes sur les bras et les jambes. Me Amine Sidhoum, qui venait au secours de Mme Nassera Dutour, aurait été projetée à terre avec force et rouée de coups.

Mmes El Boathie et Lekhal auraient été

trainées par terre par leur foulard. Cette dernière, asthmatique et souffrant de problèmes de thyroïde, se serait évanouie et aurait été transportée à l'hôpital. M. Ferhati Hacène se serait également évanoui lors de cette répression brutale et aurait eu de violents maux de tête le lendemain. D'autres avocats présents, ainsi que des militants de la Ligue algérienne des droits de l'homme, auraient été bousculés.

Plusieurs personnes, dont un père de

WGEIDaru de 82 ans, auraient été détenues pendant près d'une heure dans un camion où ils avaient des difficultés à respirer du fait de la chaleur étouffante.
