A/HRC/7/3/Add.1 page 139 Para 114. Country Date 13/06/07 Type JUA Mandate WGAD; IJL; TOR Allegations transmitted took place on 2 May 2007. On 8 and 9 May 2007, the detainees’ lawyers went to the Serious Crimes Unit - Eastern Canal to provide their clients with food and money, but were prevented by the officers from meeting with them. On 9 May 2007, one of the lawyers was detained for two hours by the officials. The detainees are charged with terrorism related crimes. Until the end of May, none of them have been allowed to receive visits from their lawyers or families. In the absence of any incriminating evidence against them the competent judge would have been willing to issue a decision for their release on 24 April 2007. However, the judge declined to do so for fear of reprisals and ordered their transfer to the Serious Crimes Unit – Eastern Canal. It is alleged that the investigating officer, together with another, were involved in fabricating evidence against them. Photomontages were made of the detainees holding explosives for use as evidence. After their interrogation and ill-treatment at the Serious Crimes Unit – Eastern Canal on 24 April 2007, two of the detainees, Mr. Ghasan Ibrahim Hussein and Mr. Jamal Khalil Abdulrahman, were severely ill-treated again by the investigator to extract false confessions.
