The information available indicates that as of the date of issuance of this report, Mr. Wong Ho Wing is still being deprived of his liberty, and the Executive Branch has not yet produced the supreme resolution pertaining to the extradition request. D. Public relevant information to the analysis of an extradition request from the People’s Republic of China 142. In this section the Commission will consider the information published by the United Nations committees and thematic rapporteurships, its Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and nongovernmental organizations. 1. Regarding death penalty 143. In its 2008 concluding comments on China, the CAT regretted that the specific figures on the death penalty are not made public.92 It highlighted the lack of comprehensive and disaggregated data on the complaints, investigations, trials and convictions in death penalty cases,93 a concern shared by the Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in its 2001 observations on China.94 In a compilation done in 2009 for the universal periodic review on China, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights expressed concern at the fact that China did not publish statistics on the application of the death penalty in China.95 144. On this same subject, former Special Rapporteur Manfred Nowak noted that the lack of official statistics on the application of the death penalty contributes to the perception of secrecy.96 For his part, the former Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions, Philip Alston, observed that for a Government to insist on a principled defence of the death penalty but to refuse to divulge to its own population the extent to which, and the reasons for which, it is being applied is unacceptable.97 91 Annex 69.
