On the occasion of the review of the initial report of Madagascar by the Committee against Torture during its 47th session (31 October - 25 November 2011), the World Organisation against Torture (OMCT), its member organisation the Action des chrétiens pour l'abolition de la torture de Madagascar (ACAT Madagascar) and the Fédération internationale de l’ACAT (FIACAT) have submitted to the Committee against Torture information and recommendations in relation to the implementation by the State Party of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
This information was notably collected during a preparatory mission to Antananarivo from 4 to 8 July 2011 organised by OMCT and FIACAT in collaboration with ACAT Madagascar. The delegation met officials of the High Transitional Authority, representatives of diplomatic missions and national and international non-governmental organisations. The mission delegates were also able to visit the Antanimora central prison in Antananarivo and the Tsiafahy high-security prison.
The CAT public session on Madagascar will be webcasted by OMCT.
