Article 1(a) of the Convention. In its earlier comments, the Committee referred to sections 79, 94, 99, 252 and 254 of the Penal Code, which provide for terms of imprisonment which, under the terms of section 1 of Order No. 68-353 of 6 April 1969, includes compulsory work. The Committee recalled that the Convention prohibits any use of forced or compulsory labour as a punishment for holding or expressing political views or views ideologically opposed the established political, social or economic system.

The Committee again notes that the revision of the above-mentioned Order has still not been completed, as well as the Government's statement that it will not fail to take account of the Committee's comments.

The Committee again expresses the hope that the Government will take the necessary measures in the near future to ensure that persons protected by the Convention cannot, in contravention of the Convention, be subjected to punishment which includes the obligation to work. It requests the Government in its next report to provide information on any progress that has been made in this regard.
