Qatari Special Security forces arrested Sedki Ibrahim, a Jordanian national, under the pretext of a traffic violation.
Following an altercation between Mr Ibrahim and the Special Security forces officers, he was taken to a nearby police station in Doha where he spent two months in custody without ever being subject to any legal proceedings. When he was finally presented before a judge, he was released on bail. The police officers however felt differently, and decided to send him to the State Security prison where he was held in solitary confinement for over three months.
