A/HRC/7/24 page 11 the crackdown on the demonstrations held in September 2007. He also regrets the lack of information regarding the allegations of the killing of 16 additional individuals and the burning of a number of bodies at the Ye Way crematorium, as mentioned above, that could help him to provide a comprehensive picture of the reported events. V. DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING THE SITUATION OF THE DISAPPEARED 38. Since the crackdown on the demonstrations, the Special Rapporteur has continued to receive information regarding people still unaccounted for. In the list he shared with the authorities coinciding with the preparations of his report (A/HRC/6/14), the Special Rapporteur took note of 74 people who were reported missing by a number of sources. Since December 2007, the Special Rapporteur has been updating the list as information from the sources were received. Some of the individuals included in the initial list of reported missing persons have been accounted for and are reportedly free (15) or reportedly in detention (8). 39. The Special Rapporteur, however, has also received reports of other individuals who are still reported missing and who were not included in his initial list. The Special Rapporteur regrets that the Government has failed to locate the whereabouts of the people missing since the crackdown and to provide any clarification on the list of 74 people missing as reported in December 2007. 40. At the time of finalization of the present report, there were 75 people still unaccounted for and whose cases had been brought to the attention of the Special Rapporteur. He shared with the Government an updated list and requested information regarding the whereabouts of the individuals reported missing. VI. CONDITIONS OF DETENTION AND ACCESS BY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE RED CROSS (ICRC) 41. Reports received indicate that the detention conditions of detainees at Insein prison in Yangon remain appalling. Family members and relatives face a long list of obstacles including lengthy procedures to visit detainees in prison. As reported, most detainees rely on food and medicine provided by family members during prison visits for their well-being. To date, information concerning the situation of the detainees can only be obtained through contacts with the prisoners’ families. 42. The Special Rapporteur would like to reiterate his concern at the lack of visible developments to give the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) access to detainees in accordance with its mandate. He nonetheless commends the efforts to continue engaging with the authorities to ensure the resumption of visits in accordance with its mandate. The Special Rapporteur would further like to repeat his call to the authorities to re-engage with ICRC and allow free access to detention centres.
