Former Detainees Talk about Torture Methods
in Saudi Jails
In refutation upon the statements which have made by the
Saudi officials who denied exposure detainees to torture and that Saudi regime
treats them with human and Islamic treatment, some former detainees who have
released recently mentioned that the Regime practiced with them and with the
detainees who are still held, a cruel method of torture.
One of these methods is preventing the detainee to go
to toilet for long time which
causes danger diseases.
Among those who exposed to that method was Sheikh Ali
Abdullah Abu-Taki who was arrested on
April 24 , 1996 . He was transferred to a hospital to perform a surgery
in the urinary passages.
It is worth mentioning that Sheikh Ali Abu Taki has
been held for five
years
without trial and denied opportunity to defend himself and his family had never
been provided with the reasons of his arrest.
On one hand , the citizen Sayyid Abdullah Tahir
al-Hassan was arrested by al-Mabahith al-`Amma before one week because he
didn't follow the orders to close Husseinuat al-Nazha which closed down by
Regime in the early of the Islamic month of Moharram of this year.
It
is worth to point out that the mosque of Iskan District in Ihsaa
Province was one of the Islamic centers which were
closed down in Moharram.
