order to make him confess his guilt. He also alleges that he was denied medical care while in custody. 132. According to the Applicant, such treatment constitutes a violation of Article 5 of the Charter. 133. The Respondent State did not respond to this allegation. 134. The Court notes that Article 5 of the Charter provides that: Every individual shall have the right to the respect of the dignity inherent in a human being and to the recognition of his legal status. All forms of exploitation and degradation of man, particularly slavery, slave trade, torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment and treatment shall be prohibited. 135. The Court recalls its position that “General statements to the effect that his right has been violated are not enough.*° More concrete evidence is required”. In the instant case, the Applicant has not provided evidence in support of this allegation. 136. Accordingly, the Court finds that the Respondent State has not violated Article 5 of the Charter. Vill. REPARATIONS 137. Article 27(1) of the Protocol provides that: "If the Court finds that there has been violation of human or peoples’ rights, it shall make appropriate orders to remedy the violation including the payment of fair compensation or reparation”. 88Alex Thomas v.
