Ford also testified at the hearing about her allegation.

The Armenian allegation about a blockade had no legal basis and was untrue.

2.5 Mr. Arutyuniantz appealed to the Supreme Court complaining about the above matter, with the exception of the allegation of being severely beaten.

This unfounded allegation is completely false and an absolute lie.

Thirdly, independent evidence tends to corroborate the allegation of torture.

This unfounded allegation is completely false and an absolute lie, Waters continued.

The Working Group notes that the Government did not comment on this allegation.

As such, the allegation of torture is inadmissible for failure to exhaust domestic remedies.

I called him after this happened, that allegation came out, said, 'Did you do it?'

A general allegation for application of the agreement in respect of certain employees is not enough.

4.13 The State party observes that in the two interviews, the complainant provided contradictory information about two central elements of his account (i) the identity of the political group(s) responsible for the alleged false murder allegation made against him a and (ii) whether the allegation made against him and resulting in his arrest and torture occurred quite shortly before his departure, or four to five years earlier.

One allegation related to a person who could not be positively identified as a member of UNMIL.

It was kind of along these lines, and the allegation was that I have, quote, affection for terrorists.

This allegation is based on the fact that foreign inspectors have carried out inspections of the Alpha Serengeti.

During the period under review, one allegation was received but was found to be unsubstantiated following an investigation.

4.3 The State party rejects the allegation that the author was unable to cross examine witnesses in court.

The Committee takes note of the complainant's allegation that his treatment constituted torture within the meaning of the Convention.

The State party has neither contested this allegation nor given any justification for arresting the author without a warrant.

This allegation of the source is corroborated by the Working Group's own findings reached during its visit in Belarus.

The State party thus argues that the allegation of ill treatment on that date has been effectively refuted by its Ambassador's observations.

Once a person has established an allegation of discrimination the burden of proof shifts to the person who is suspected of discriminatory activities.

Finally, the State party argues that the brief communication lacks sufficient material basis, including basic evidence, that would go beyond a mere allegation.

In particular, there is no allegation that Mr. Celal, who the evidence showed was almost certainly driving the pickup away, posed any risk.

The Commission considered that the allegation related to the lack of impartiality was not raised in the appeal (cassation) to the Supreme Court.

The author's allegation that no judicial body ever responded substantively to his defence relating to the tapped telephone calls with his lawyer was unfounded.

Similarly, there has been no denial of the allegation that evidence found in the home of the accused had been planted there hours earlier.

The allegation by Amnesty International that some Saharan human rights defenders had been arrested and tortured in Moroccan jails was a matter of grave concern.

In the Committee's view, those reports lend considerable weight to his allegation that he was tortured during the interrogations he underwent in a military camp.

In addition, the Swedish authorities apparently did not seek to call any medical expertise, particularly after the complainant's direct allegation of torture in March 2003.

His allegation of ill treatment proved on investigation to be entirely groundless and his complaints on this subject to the competent judicial authorities were dismissed.

The Committee recalls that the author of a communication must have brought a substantive complaint in the domestic courts in respect of any allegation subsequently brought before the Committee and that mere doubts about the effectiveness of an available remedy do not absolve the author of a communication from exhausting it.

It shifts the burden of proof to the party accused of discrimination, thus strengthening the position, in civil law proceedings, of the person making the allegation.

It concludes that this part of the communication should be found inadmissible, under article 2 of the Optional Protocol, since the allegation was not sufficiently substantiated.

4.7 As to the complainant's allegation that he is at risk of being tortured by members of Government forces, the State party notes that before Swedish immigration authorities, the complainant only mentioned in passing that he would risk being killed by Government forces should they learn about what he had experienced at Coronado.

Kavanaugh testified before Congress on Thursday, forcefully and emotionally denying an allegation from Christine Blasey Ford that he sexually assaulted her decades ago when they were teenagers.

When the prosecutor requests the police gendarmes to investigate an allegation, they may not do so with the same efficiency as they would investigate attacks against themselves.

In the absence of further information, the Committee considers that this allegation is not sufficiently substantiated and accordingly declares it inadmissible under article 2 of the Optional Protocol.

In addition, this allegation was not made in the domestic courts, so that it should be considered inadmissible under article 5, paragraph 2 (b), of the Optional Protocol.

As for the allegation contained in that letter regarding the efforts being engaged in by Israel to renew the peace process, nothing could be further from the truth.

The process, in general, involved the sending of a letter to the concerned Government requesting information and comments on the allegation and that preventive or investigatory action be taken.

The nature of refoulement is such, however, that an allegation of breach of that article relates to a future expulsion or removal accordingly, the right to an effective remedy contained in article 3 requires, in this context, an opportunity for effective, independent and impartial review of the decision to expel or remove, once that decision is made, when there is a plausible allegation that article 3 issues arise.

In the present case, the allegation that Mr. Durdykuliyev was not allowed to appeal to a judge or independent organ against his internment in a psychiatric facility was not challenged.

3.1 The author's basic allegation is that he has been subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment and torture in the Spanish prisons where he has been incarcerated under the special regime.

In order to establish his allegation, the appellant should have proved that his case was the same as that of the cases in respect of which the relevant agreement was applied.

The Working Group points out first that the Government did not refute the allegation of the source that Mr. Zhang has abstained, during all his activities, from any form of violence.
