The Public Prosecution interrogates Rayhana Al-Musawi on her torture without the presence of her lawyer
17 July, 2013 – Al-Wefaq.net

On Tuesday 16th July the Public Prosecution interrogated the female detainee Rayhan Al-Musawi on her claims that personnel of the Ministry of Interior tortured her. Al-Muswi was subjected to degrading, humiliating, illegal and immoral ill-treatment, that included being stripped of her clothes in order to force a false confession that she was part of the “14 February Plot” as alleged by the Authorities. The detainee had testified about her torture in front of a judge on 11th July.

However the judge refused the claims of torture and recorded the incident as psychological harassment. This proves a lack of impartiality and transparency in the case.

Following her claims Al-Musawi was taken to the to the Public Prosecution building, under strict security measures, where she was interrogated for 45 minutes without informing her lawyer.

The Public Prosecution had previously refused a request made by the defense lawyers for power of attorney in her case. The trial lacks the most basic legal guaranties for defendants and which the Interior Ministry claims to provide.

A forensic Doctor saw al-Musawi on the morning of Tuesday, having already given the Public Prosecution full details of her torture and forced undressing to bring about a confession.

Al-Muawi was the only female amongst the defendants, including political and human rights activists, who appeared in court on 11th July.
