E/CN.4/1995/34 page 37 in the Ministry of Justice. The forensic report number was provided where the source provided it to the Special Rapporteur. A significant number of the incidents were reported to have occurred when the individual was in SSI custody. 184. Rabi’ Ahmad Rikabi Ahmad was arrested on 4 January 1993, blindfolded, taken to a location that may have been SSI headquarters in Lazoghly Square, Cairo, and allegedly tortured by means of electric shocks to his chest and stomach. The forensic reports were said to have noted a scar on his nose caused by exceedingly tight blindfolding, but the examination took place beyond the period necessary to confirm the use of electric shocks. ’Abd al-Mun’im Gamal al-Din ’Abd al-Mun’im was arrested on 21 February 1993 and blindfolded for several days at the Giza branch of SSI. The pressure from the blindfold was said to have caused injuries to the bridge of his nose. Hussein Taha ’Omar ’Afifi, from Imbaba, Cairo, was arrested on 10 January 1993 and allegedly beaten over two days, resulting in scarring to his left arm. The Government replied that the court in Military Felony Case 18/1993 had acquitted these three persons on the grounds that the charges against them had not been proved, but that the substantiating grounds for the court’s judgement made no reference to their assault or torture. 185. Yahya Khalfallah Mohammad ’Ali, from Cairo, was arrested on 18 February 1993 and allegedly tortured by means of beating him with an iron bar on his face and head and applying electric shocks to various parts of his body. The Government stated that he was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment in Military Felony Case 18/1993, but the court had disregarded the defendant’s confessions made during the investigation in view of its suspicion that they might have been extracted under duress or pressure. The Department of Public Prosecutions (DPP) was investigating the matter. 186. Ahmad Shawqi Thabet ’Abd al-’Aal was arrested on 10 April 1993 and allegedly tortured for four days at SSI headquarters and at the SSI branch office at Gaber bin Hayyan Street in Doqqi, Cairo. The methods of torture were said to include electric shocks to various parts of his body and beatings, resulting in injuries to his hands, legs, chest, and back. The Government replied that he was sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment with hard labour in Military Felony Case 18/1993, but that the court had observed injuries on the defendant and so had disregarded the contents of the arrest reports and had based its judgement on other evidence. The DPP was investigating the matter. 187. Khalifa ’Abd al’-Azim ’Abd al-’Aziz Khalifa was arrested on 20 February 1993, taken to SSI headquarters and allegedly tortured for two days by means of beatings and electric shocks to various parts of his body. ’Abd al-Rahim ’Abd al-Ghaffar Mursi ’Abd al-Bari was arrested on 18 February 1993 and reportedly subjected to punches and kicks, injuring his right eye. He also allegedly received electric shocks to sensitive areas of his body. The Government replied that the two men were sentenced by the court in Military Felony Case 18/1993 to 15 years’ imprisonment with hard labour, but that the court had disregarded their confessions made during investigation in view of its suspicion that they might have been extracted under duress or pressure. The DPP was investigating the matter.
