A/HRC/13/40/Add.1 (b) No response received from the Government (c) Observations of the Special Rapporteur 153. The Special Rapporteur regrets that she has so far not received a reply from the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran concerning the above mentioned allegations. She would like to refer to her framework for communications, more specifically to the international human rights norms and to the mandate practice concerning the intersection of freedom of religion or belief with other human rights, i.e. “Right to life, right to liberty” (see para. 1 above, category D. 2.). L. 1. (a) Iraq Communication sent on 28 November 2008 jointly with the Independent Expert on minority issues Allegations transmitted to the Government 154. The Special Procedures mandate holders brought to the attention of the Government information they had received regarding incidents involving members of the Sabian Mandaean community in Iraq, including threats to convert to Islam, kidnappings and killings. Summaries of this communication as well as observations of the Special Rapporteur are already reproduced in A/HRC/10/8/Add.1, paras. 74-80. (b) Response from the Government dated 30 April 2009 155. On 30 April 2009, the Government of Iraq replied to the joint communication of 28 November 2008. Since the Special Rapporteur had not received the response’s translation from the relevant services at the time this report was finalized, she is unfortunately not in a position to summarize in English the content of the Government’s response in the present report. However, a copy of the original response letter is available online at the following address: www2.ohchr.org/english/issues/religion/docs/response300409iraq.pdf. (c) Observations by the Special Rapporteur 156. The Special Rapporteur is grateful that the Government of Iraq replied to the joint communication of 28 November 2008 and hopes to be able to make observations on the response in the next report.
