Standard Procedure

concerning Mr. Abdelhamid Mohamed Abdell Al-Jaishi, who was allegedly abducted by

Government concerning Messrs. Ali bin Ali Shukri, Abd al-Khaliq Salah Abd al-Qawi,
Yahya Shalif al-Sunaibi, „Aidarus Muhsin al-Yahari, and Qasim „Askar Jubran, who
allegedly disappeared on 26 February 2011, following a raid by the Central Security Forces
at the apartment of Mr. Ali bin Ali Shukri.

three cases. One of these cases had been previously clarified by the source. The information
provided with regard to the other two cases was considered insufficient to lead to their

clarify one case.
Total cases transmitted, clarified and outstanding
685. Since its establishment, the Working Group has transmitted 160 cases to the
Government; of those, nine cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided
by the source, 135 cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided by the
Government, 14 have been discontinued and two remain outstanding.
Observations
686. The Working Group notes with concern that, during the reporting period, it transmitted
an urgent appeal to the Government concerning several individuals. The Working Group
recalls article 2.1 of the Declaration which states that ―No State shall practise, permit or
tolerate enforced disappearances‖, as well as article 3, which provides that ―Each State shall
take effective legislative, administrative, judicial or other measures to prevent and terminate
acts of enforced disappearance in any territory under its jurisdiction.‖
