A/HRC/45/16 • Ricardo Martinelli (opinion No. 47/2019, Panama) • Abderrahmane Weddady and Cheikh Mohamed Jiddou (opinion No. 48/2019, Mauritania) – conditional release • John Wesley Downs (opinion No. 58/2019, Qatar) – released upon special amnesty • Foly Satchivi (opinion No. 83/2019, Togo) – released upon presidential pardon 20. The Working Group expresses its gratitude to those Governments that took positive action and released detainees who had been subject of its opinions. However, it regrets that various States have not cooperated in implementing the opinions and urges those States to do so as a matter of urgency. The Working Group recalls that the continuous detention of those individuals is a continued violation of their right to liberty under article 9 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and, for States parties, under article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. 5.
