treatment in breach of Article 5 of the African Charter as thus, depriving the convict and his family members of the important opportunity to have closure with the dignity of their last farewells. 175. The Respondent State, failed to challenge the allegation that no reasonable notice or any notice at all was given of the date and time of execution of the victim. The African Commission has in many of its decisions 52 held that facts AC HP R uncontested by the Respondent State shall be considered as established. In view of the foregoing, the African Commission will therefore hold this fact as established. 176. In Communication 240/01 Interights et al. (on behalf of Bosch) v. Botswana 53, the African Commission observed that a justice system must have a human face in matters of execution of death sentences by affording a condemned person an opportunity to arrange his affairs, to be visited by members of his intimate family before he dies, and to receive spiritual advice and comfort to enable him to compose himself, as best as he can, to face his ultimate ordeal. 177. The African Commission is, therefore, inclined to hold the fact that the victim and his family members were never given the important opportunity to have closure with the dignity of their last farewells as inhuman treatment. Since the Respondent State did not give any justifications, the African Commission finds that the failure to give notice of the date and time of execution of the victim amounts to cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment and treatment and therefore a violation of Article 5 of the African Charter.
