51. 工作组在判例中确立了处理证据问题的方式。如果来文方提出了有表面证据的理由，证明存在构成任意拘留的违反国际规定的情况，政府若要反驳有关指称，则举证责任在政府(见 A/HRC/19/57，第 68 段)。在本案中，政府就来文方提出的指称提出了质疑。
51. The Working Group has in its jurisprudence established the ways in which it deals with evidentiary issues. If the source has established a case for breach of international requirements constituting arbitrary detention, the burden of proof should be understood to rest upon the Government if it wishes to refute the allegations (see A/HRC/19/57, para. 68). In the present case, the Government has challenged the allegations made by the source.
