The full text of the urgent appeals can be consulted in the joint reports on communications.1 34. In conformity with paragraphs 22 to 24 of its methods of work, the Working Group, without prejudging whether a detention was arbitrary, drew the attention of each of the Governments concerned to the specific case as reported and appealed to them to take the measures necessary to ensure that the detained persons’ rights to life, liberty and to physical integrity were respected. 35. When an appeal made reference to the critical state of health of certain persons or to particular circumstances, such as the failure to execute a court order for release or a previous opinion of the Working Group seeking the release of the person, the Working Group requested that all measures necessary for the immediate release of the detained person be taken.
