Investigations of allegations of torture and ill-treatment of incoming prisoners, as well as of those already detained, are the responsibility of the prison administration. The Special Rapporteur expresses his concern at the lack of any investigations carried out in this regard. Further, he expresses deep concern with regard to personnel in Juweidah, who seek to deny victims of torture a means to have their allegations addressed and investigated. The Special Rapporteur strongly recommends that criminal investigations against Lieutenant Al-Khateeb be initiated promptly (see the case of Ali Mohammed Hamdan Al-Hineity, above). V. JUWEIDAH WOMEN’S CORRECTION AND REHABILITATION CENTRE, AMMAN (Visited on 28 June 2006) 39.

(a) Protective custody 40. Maysun Shobaki, aged 32. She has been detained since 1996, when she was 22. She was raped by her brother and nephew. Unaware that she had become pregnant as a result, and being unmarried, the doctor who subsequently examined her called the police. Eventually, her nephew received seven, and she received three and a half years’ imprisonment for unlawful sex. Even after serving her time, the Governor, on the basis of the 1954 Crime Prevention Law, insisted that she remain in the facility for her own protection, until she obtains a sponsor, or gets married. She has considered suicide because she is not permitted to leave and would like to recover her freedom. 41. The Government informed that with respect to women held in protective custody, the aim is to protect these women’s lives, since they face death threats from their families.
