Alkarama for Human Rights, 10 August 2007

Alkarama for Human Rights wishes to draw attention to the case of Mr. Al Rabassi.  Arrested at home on 3 January 2003 by Internal Security agents, he was condemned to 15 years’ criminal imprisonment by an exceptional court for having sent an email criticising the President.  The Working Group on Arbitrary Detention issued an opinion on 30 August 2005 deeming Mr. Al Rabassi’s detention arbitrary.

Alkarama for Human Rights has addressed a letter to the Working Group on Forced Disappearances to inform it of new developments regarding the disappearance of Mr. Abdelatif Al Raqoubi, who disappeared on 16 June 2006.
