E/CN.4/1995/34 page 40 subjected to electric shocks, which resulted in injuries to his thighs, legs and left shoulder (forensic report 600/1992). The Government replied that the medical report had indicated that marks of injuries to his right foot had disappeared without leaving clear traces that could be used as evidence, that x-rays had revealed no fractures, and that on the basis of his descriptions of his injuries, they seemed to be merely bruises or abrasions. The court in Military Felony Case 6/1993 had reviewed all the evidence and sentenced him to 15 years’ hard labour and in its judgement made no mention of any offence committed against him. 201. Mahmoud Hussein Mohammed Ahmed El-Minya was arrested on 13 April 1992 in Alexandria port under the Law of Suspicion. He was allegedly subjected to beatings and had his lower jaw broken, resulting in a coma and death on 3 May 1993. The Government replied that an investigation of the office of the El-Minya Prosecutor had excluded suspicion of felonious acts on the part of the police and the case had been closed. That decision was based upon a report from Asyut University Hospital which confirmed that his death had been caused by kidney failure. A forensic report had also stated that his death was due to a pathological condition and could not be attributed to the fact that his jaw had been broken. The Attorney-General, however, had countermanded the decision to close the file and had ordered a continuation of the investigation, which was being undertaken by the DPP. 202. Matouq Yusuf Hasan was arrested on 26 January 1993 and allegedly suspended in a painful position, causing an impairment in mobility of his right arm and both legs (forensic report 203/1993). The Government replied that he was convicted of some and acquitted of other charges against him in Military Felony Case 13/1993 and was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment with hard labour. The court had studied the medical report and made no reference to the commission of any offence against him in its judgement. 203.

Tareq Abdel-Raziq Hussein appeared before the DPP for questioning on 26 April 1993, during which the DPP, upon inspection, confirmed the presence of injuries to his body.
