Attempted Suicide In The Ranks of the Prisoners! And Other Horrors…

The prisoner al-Hasoki who is now being held in Sala 2 prison, suffers from a mental illness due to the appaling prison conditions they live in. Also because of the intentional medical neglect, as the authorities see fit if anyone is in pain they give him a pain killing jab or let’s say “madness inducing jab”.

Al-Hazoki began to babble excessively in his cell then hanged himself only to be saved before his soul slipped away by the guard. The prison director came in person to see what had happened. He was then taken to an unknown location. We ask Allah he is in good health.

This is the case with Akhdif Abdulateef, who suffers from severe kidney failure and is until this moment lying in a hospital. For the many years of medical neglect he was given these jabs which caused him to pass out then awake with severe pains and hallucinations causing him to suffer from permanent high blood pressure, to which he needs regular medicine.

In other news Khalid al-Ayati is still suffering from medical neglect since the clashes on  the 16th and 17th of May, when he unfortunately fell onto his face from the roof of the prison causing his arm to break. Since then his arm has not been seen to by a doctor, which has caused it to begin to deform and shrink with the possibility of it becoming a permanent disability without the mention of the pain it gives him. Therefore he has begun a hunger strike demanding the right to see a doctor and a lawyer to defend him.

Also visits to Sala 2 Prison are still behind a fenced wall for some families as for others if they plead with the officers they may feel merciful and give them a few minutes to see their relative in person.

We Ask Allah to Release Our Brothers From Prison!

Ameen!

Saudi Arabia: Mokhlif Al-Shammari, still illegally detained and tortured

Following complaints about prison conditions which Mr Mokhlif Al Shammari, a 56 year old human rights defender from Saudi Arabia, sent to the Director General of prisons in Saudi Arabia, he was taken from his cell by prison guards on 27 July 2011 and subjected to severe torture including threats to his life followed by an attempt to kill him.

Alkarama 23rd August 2011 submitted information about these events to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture, calling for him to intervene with the Saudi authorities to request an immediate end to this torture and ill-treatment.

In early July 2011, Mr Al Shammari submitted a complaint to the Director General of prisons in Saudi Arabia, Mr Ali al Harthi, regarding the conditions of detention in Saudi Arabia. Three weeks after this, on 27 July 2011, Mr Al Shammari was taken from his cell by prison guards and members of the police and told he was going to the hospital for some check-ups. He was in fact taken to the prison’s waiting room. After a while, the officer in charge of the forces who had taken him from his cell ordered that his hands and feet be bound. He was then dragged along the floor to the prison’s “camera control room”, as there is no camera in this room, and the door was shut. Mr Al Shammari was then beaten and kicked until he lost consciousness.

When he awoke, the officer in charge of the forces, Lieutenant Abdul Majeed Al Asmari (عبدالمجيد الاسمري), was sitting on his chest pouring a bottle of Dettol (toxic disinfectant and cleaning product) down his throat saying: “Die you filth, and I will say you committed suicide”.

After more than two hours of this sort of treatment, Mr Al Shammari’s condition worsened rapidly, forcing the prison authorities to bring him to the prison’s hospital. He was registered there as having tried to commit suicide.

When he shouted to the medical staff and the patients present that the security forces were attempting to kill him, he was dragged from his bed by the agents who had brought him there, despite bleeding profusely from the mouth, and put back in solitary confinement. Since 27 July 2011, he has been regularly put back into solitary confinement to punish him for his complaints about prison conditions. His family had no contact with him since these events, until a phone call on 21 August 2011.

When they received this information they brought it to the attention of the local governorate, the Royal Saudi Court (Diwan Al Malaki), the Ministry of Interior and the Director General of Saudi Arabian Prisons. No responses were received.

Alkarama calls for the immediate release of Mr Al Shammari, and an end to the persecution of human rights defenders in the Saudi Arabia.
