It added, “What happened to the prisoner is a blatant violation to his rights, and an abuse to his dignity by Islah militants, with orders of prison director, without any legal justification allowing them to commit such violations, except that he tried to suffocate himself because he suffers from a psychological condition.
Al-Juboubi noted that she went to the Central Prison director and informed him on the violation that had occurred to her client, the violence he was subjected to aggravated his psychological suffering, but the director of the prison expelled her.
