Alkarama for Human Rights, 10 July 2007

Alkarama for Human Rights has addressed Louise Arbour, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to bring to their attention the issue of Sayfallah Ben Hassine, detained at Mornaguiya prison (Tunis).

Sayfallah Ben Omar Ben Hassine, a Tunisian father of three born 8 November 1965 and married to a Moroccan woman, is currently detained at Mornaguiya prison (Tunis).  He has suffered torture and ill-treatment there, and his family fears for his life, especially given his frail health.  He suffers from asthma and from chronic kidney disease, and has not received medical treatment for many months.
