A police force kidnapped, Sunday evening, citizen from his house and detained him for 1 1/2 hours to prevent him from appearing on Al Mihwar satellite channel alive on that night to speak about his case in which he accuses a policeman of detaining him for two years on roof of a police station without any legal grounds . The police force broke into Hanna"s house in Giza, and detained him under pretext of investigating into the charges he directs against a police inspector, but he was surprised that the security forces took him to Cairo security directorate instead of Giza security directorate near which his residence is located .Hanna adds: I was sent to the civil status organization where I met the civil affairs officer Mostafa Abdul Qader, the defendant in my case; one of them asked me about the incident, I asked him: how shall I complain of an officer in the directorate and they interrogate me in the very same directorate? where is the fairness?; the investigator stopped interrogating me and left me for more than 1 1/2 hours after which he ordered me released immediately, and informed me that I am watched .Hanna confirmed that the aim of arresting him was to prevent him from appearing in "90 Minutes" show on Al Mihwar TV channel to narrate his ordeal alive, after the show presenter Moataz Al Demerdash notified about it in advance .For his part, Bashir Hassan, the show editor-in-chief, said : We received, 1 1/2 hours before airing the show, a phone call from Hatem, the torture victim"s son and he informed us that a police truck came to the house and took his father; we asked repeatedly about him by calling his family till we were informed that he was released at 10.30PM. We knew for sure that his detention was only to prevent him from appearing on the show to present his ordeal. Hanna said that he will present two complaints to the attorney general within hours. Details of Hanna"s Torture Incident Tortured 11 Yrs Ago In Egypt Another Egyptian torture victim is recalling the injustice he was afflicted in the 1990s and how this painful experience is still hunting him. |
