Sudan.82 104. The Complainant reckoned that the obligations to investigate, prosecute and punish the perpetrators of the crime of Torture, are in line with standards contained in several international and regional treaties, and soft laws, naming for instance, the UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment;83 the Maputo Protocol+ the UN Report of the Special Rapporteur on Torture;85 as well as in instruments such as the Body of Principles for the Protection of All Persons Under Any Form of Detention or Imprisonment.w the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners.V 105. In the present case, as set out, the complainants submitted that the investigation of the First Victim's complaint regarding her ill-treatment and torture by military officials fell short of these standards. The investigation was continuously delayed and was carried out by military officials in a partial fashion as is also evident from the military prosecutor's biased questioning of the First Victim. 106. They added that no diligent attempts were made to hold anyone accountable for the violations. The military doctor accused of the forced genital examination was charged with a public act of indecency an offence associated with a maximum prison sentence of one year, which does not reflect the gravity of the First Victim's complaint. The First Victim received several threatening phone calls following her attempts to obtain justice.v 81 Communication 401/11, para.57 (Admissibility) African Commission, Amnesty International and Others v Sudan, Communications 48/90, 50/91, 52/91, 89/93, para.56. 83 See, Article 13 of the Convention against Torture 82 84 Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the rights of women in Africa, Article 4 (e) Report of the Special Rapporteur on Torture, E/CN.4/2004/56, 23 December 2003, para. 39 and General Recommendations of the Special Rapporteur on Torture, E/CN.4/2003/68, 17 December 2002, para. 26(i). 85 241 P age
