5.3 Article 5, paragraph 2 (b), of the Optional Protocol precludes the Committee from considering a communication if the author has not exhausted all available domestic remedies. In the light of the information provided by the State party, the Committee concludes that the requirements of article 5, paragraph 2 <b), of the Optional Protocol have not been met. 6. The Human Eights Committee therefore decides: (a) That the communication is inadmissible under article 5, paragraph 2 (b) of the Optional Protocol; (b) That the Committee's request for interim measures pursuant to rule 86 of the rules of procedure is set aside; (c) That, in accordance with rule 92, paragraph 2, of the Committee's rules of procedure, the author may, after exhausting local remedies, bring the issue again before the Committee; (d) That this decision shall be transmitted to the State party, to the author and to his counsel.
