Habib AbdulHusain Hasan

Habib AbdulHusain Hasan, a 17-year-old high school student when he was beaten and warrantlessly arrested. He was consequently tortured and subjected to fair trial violations. He is currently serving his sentence in Jau Prison.

On 5 November 2015, Habib was arrested by riot police and officers in civilian clothing. Habib was chased and took shelter in a house in his village when he heard the sound of a helicopter. He was found and beaten along with the owner of the house and his son, while the wife of the house owner was detained in an isolated room. Habib, the house owner, and the son were consequently arrested although authorities did not present an arrest warrant or indicate the reason. Multiple summonses had been sent to his house prior to his arrest, and his house was raided multiple times although authorities never specified who they were looking for.

Habib was taken to the CID in Adliya for an unknown period of time, where he was beaten and kicked to coerce him to confess to the charges against him, without the presence of his lawyer. He was only able to call his family two days after his arrest and told them that he was fine and at the CID. After Habib confessed, he was taken to New Dry Dock Prison, as a judgment had already been issued against him.
