17. 委员会注意到《刑事诉讼法典》第 232 条规定的关于在胁迫或威胁下获得的证据不予采信的保障，但委员会遗憾的是，关于卡塔尔法院做出拒绝采信逼供证据的决定的资料很少。特别值得关注的是罗纳尔多·洛佩兹·乌勒普(RonaldoLopez Ulep)案件，乌勒普是一名被指控犯间谍罪的菲律宾国民，声称曾多次遭受酷刑逼供(第 2、第 15 和第 16 条)。
17. While taking note of the guarantees set forth in article 232 of the Code of Criminal Procedure regarding the inadmissibility of evidence obtained under duress or threat, the Committee regrets the scant information available on decisions taken by the Qatari courts to refuse confessions obtained under torture as evidence. Of particular concern is the case of Ronaldo Lopez Ulep, a Filipino national convicted on espionage charges, who claimed to have been repeatedly subjected to torture in order to force his confession (arts. 2, 15 and 16).
