During the early hours of Monday 1 March 2010, criminal investigators and security personnel from Aydoun, Irbid governorate, raided Said Mahmoud Talafaha's home, where he lives with his wife and infant daughter. During the brutal raid, both him and his daughter were injured - the two are now in hospital.

Following the prolonged house inspection, Said Talafaha was taken to a security centre where criminal investigators and General Security officers tied him down and lambasted his legs and arms with work tools. The ruthless beating resulted in multiple fractures to his right leg and broken ligaments in his left arm.

Said was ultimately transferred to the Princess Basma hospital in Irbid, where he received medical care. He was nevertheless hauled out of the hospital by General Security officers
and criminal investigators, after less than ten hours of medical treatment.

Alkarama is determined to follow Said Mahmoud Talafaha's case with the intention of submitting the details of the beatings to the Special Rapporteur on Torture. Alkarama also requests that the Jordanian government carry out an independent investigation into those involved in the attacks and bring them to justice.
