Observations
212. The Working Group is concerned by the allegations that a significant number of
enforced disappearances took place in the Mount Elgon district in 2008, as reflected by the
40 cases transmitted in 2012. The Working Group also regrets that no response has been
received from the Government to the general allegation sent on 9 September 2011,
concerning enforced disappearances in the Mount Elgon district (A/HRC/19/58/Rev.1,
paras. 312-316), notwithstanding a reminder sent on 13 August 2012.
