A/HRC/4/33/Add.1 Page 137 Para Country Date Type Mandate Allegations transmitted Omar Khalil Abed, aged 30, and Shaker Mahmoud Ali, aged 66, all of Baghdad, were detained by members of the Al-Mehdi Army following the bombing of two Shiite shrines in Samara on 22 February 2006. On 23 February 2006, their bodies were found dumped in the Kasra-Wattash District, Baghdad, bearing signs of torture. Ahmed Shaker’s left eye was missing, his back appeared to be burned by an iron, and his body bore puncture wounds made by a power drill. Omar Khalil’s neck exhibited power drill injuries; and Shakir Mahmoud had marks indicative of beatings. Mosa’b Abdul Sattar Abdul Jabbar, aged 25, member of a counseling committee at the Muslim Scholars’ Foundation, Baghdad, was deprived of his freedom by men riding in three cars belonging to the Ministry of Interior on his way to Al-Tasfeerat (the Iraqi Police Center), where he was going to visit one of the detainees. On 30 May 2006, the body of Mosa’b Abdul Sattar was found in the Medico-Legal Institute bearing signs of torture: acid burns on his face and body and power drill holes on his legs. It seems also that his head was squeezed with a metal compressor until his eyes came out of their sockets. In none of the above cases have investigations led to the arrest of the suspected perpetrators and the initiation of criminal proceedings against them, nor has any of the victims’ families received compensation.
