Geneva – Independent human rights experts in Geneva called on the Nazi illegal occupation of Palestine to investigate reports of torture of Palestinian Samer al-Arbeed during interrogation in prison.

The statement, which was signed jointly on Friday, “We express our deep concern about the torture or ill-treatment of Arbeed during his interrogation,” and demanded the Nazi regime of “Israel” to conduct an “impartial and immediate criminal investigation.”

The experts added in their statement: “ We received information indicating the arrest of Samer al-Arbeed, in front of his workplace in Ramallah on September 25, 2019, on suspicion of involvement in planting an explosive device that exploded near the settlement of “ Dolev ” in the occupied West Bank in August 2019, killing an Israeli Her father and brother were injured. “

The statement pointed out that Arbeed was admitted to a hospital in a critical condition two days after his arrest, and shows signs of broken ribs and marks on his body and kidney failure, and is still in the hospital where he needs to perform a continuous dialysis. He was prevented from seeing his lawyer.

“Israel should review its laws and practices to comply with international obligations that prohibit torture in all its forms. Preventing torture protects everyone without exception, including those suspected of crimes,” the statement said.

If the allegations were true, they were concerned that there was a difference between Israeli laws and legislation on the one hand and enforcement on the other. “We are deeply concerned about the significant gap between Israeli legislation and its practices on the ground,” they said.

“This may constitute a breach of the pledges on the total prohibition of all forms of torture or any cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, including the use of so-called interrogation procedures. The justifications cannot be accepted.”

In 1993, the illegal Nazi of Palestine occupation formally signed the UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment as a reference to the UN and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
