Cairo,30/3/2004
Citizen's burning in
Alfanara Police station.
MR/ Attorney General, We apply you to give
Immediate order to hear the victim's testimony
Before they suppress the truth.
With highly displeasing and bitterness, The Association for Human Rights
Legal Aid [AHRLA] has received the complaint of
the family of Khaled Abdelnaby, 19 years old and the resident in Faid town-
Alismaelia governorate. The complaint refers to that in the day 13/3/2004
one of the detectives of the fanara police station forces has arrested him
from the way and took him to the office of the station and there he and
other detectives had beaten him, and hanged him from his legs, and as a
result of such harsh torture he has fainted, and then they put him in
detention room, and he found himself alone in it by chance, and with no
mercy they burned him while he was sleeping, he woke up to find the fire
burning his lean body and his clothes, which injured him burning of first,
second, and third degrees over more than 40 % of his body.
The lawyers of [AHRLA] moved on in order to
meet the victim and know the actual events, and he said:
" I was going home with my mother when the detective "Saied " and he told
me that I the one who stole the electric wires, and he arrested me and took
me to Alfanara police station, starting with the other detectives to beat
me, and hanged me as a carcass and I have fainted, and I was half-sleeping
alone in the detention room when I found the fire burning my shirt, and then
they took me to Faid Hospital where the responsible refused accepting me and
turned me into the University Hospital, from where the chief of
investigation turned me into Faid police station again, and he told me that
my family is a poor one so if the prosecution asked me I have to say that I
tried to run away, because I'm afraid of previous sentence on me, so I fell
down in a burning rubbish hole, and he put my fingerprint on a white
paper, then they sent me to the University Hospital of Alismaelia since
21/3, and they had bonded me to the bed, and when the prosecution came and
asked me I was so scared so I told them what he demanded to say, after that
the hospital refused continuing staying in saying it has no security guards
and driving me out, I went to Faid Hospital until the official of the Faid
police station made a report deposed that I am not wanted and there is no
need to put me under safeguarding, with that report my family could inter
me University Hospital again. Now the important matter that I have to tell
the whole truth, improving my right because what happened to me is guilt and
unlawful."
Once the lawyers of [AHRLA] heard the above
statement went to MR/ Chief of Faid Prosecution and made a request to him
to give his order to one of the gentlemen prosecutors to go to the hospital
and to hear the victim's testimony, but he refused their request,
immediately they went to MR/ Consultant the Attorney General for Alismaelia
prosecutions and asked him the same request and he approved to returning
again to the General Prosecution in Faid to make the necessaries and proving
the victim's testimony rapidly in order to stop the flood of policemen's
threatens.
The lawyers of [AHRLA] until writing these
lines are still trying proofing the victim's testimony before the General
prosecution.
MR/ Consultant Attorney General:
In the name of all the victims of torture we appeal you to give
your order now to hear the testimony of the victim, who is confined to bed
and exposed to sharp health deteriorations which may kill him in the room
no.1 of Alismaelia University Hospital, and we ask you also to protect him.
Stop Torture Now Now ……….
