Case No Country Mandate(s) Summary of the allegation transmitted Reply FIN 1/2011 28/09/2011 Finland UA Indigenous peoples; 28/10/2011 Alleged imminent slaughter of reindeer in the Nellim Area. According to the information received, land for grazing in Finland is limited and the State regulates the number of reindeer that can graze in a certain area. The Ivalo cooperative in Nellim district, made up of both Sami and non-Sami reindeer herders, planned to force four Sami herders to conduct a slaughter of their reindeer in late-September 2011. Sami herders were targeted because they have, over the years, slaughtered fewer reindeer than other herders. However, the decision of the Ivalo cooperative did not take into account the fact that Sami must maintain larger herds because of their traditional nomadic herding practices, which are different from the practices of non-Sami reindeer herders, who keep their animals fenced in. In its response, the Government stated that the UN Human Rights Committee requested that no slaughter of reindeer be conducted while the case is being considered by Committee. DEU 1/2011 30/09/2011 Germany JAL Terrorism; Torture; 24/11/2011 Concern that German authorities might have directly or indirectly participated in the arrest, detention, conviction and imprisonment of a person in Morocco without assessing whether there are substantial grounds for believing that he would be in danger of being subjected to torture or other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. According to information received, Mr. Mohamed Hajib, a dual German and Moroccan national, had been arrested and put into detention in Pakistan in 2009, on suspicion of terrorism, a charge later withdrawn by Pakistani authorities. On 17 February 2010, following his release from detention in Pakistan, Mr. Hajib travelled to Casablanca from Islamabad, Pakistan, via Frankfurt, Germany, with the purpose of visiting one of his children who had fallen seriously ill. When he arrived in transit at Frankfurt airport on 17 February 2010, two police officers advised him to continue with his journey, otherwise he would be questioned about his arrest and detention in Pakistan. When arriving at Casablanca airport Mr. Hajib was arrested by five agents of the Moroccan intelligence service and was immediately transferred to the police station of El Maarif, where he was allegedly tortured. It is alleged that Mr. Hajib was convicted on terrorism related charges to ten years of imprisonment solely on the basis of statements signed under torture during his initial 12 days of detention from 17 February 2010 at the police station at El Maarif. On 17 May 2011, following a riot at Salé prison, Mr. Hajib was transferred to Toulal prison where he was allegedly held in secret detention for 15 days, and again allegedly severely tortured and beaten, kept in painful positions, and threatened with rape.
