The Human Rights Association for the Assistance of Prisoners (HRAAP) submit an announcement to the Attorney General in the two incidents of  the young lady actor Habeba and forcing her to confess to the crime of killing her husband, and torture another four citizens from Toukh and forcing them to confess to another killing crimes.

 (HRAAP) submitted an announcement to the consultant /Maher Abdelwahed (Attorney General) for the incidents of torture of the young lady actor Habeba, and forcing her to confess to killing her husband, and torturing  another four citizens from Toukh, and forcing them to confess to committing another killing crime.

As for Habeba Mohammed Sa’eed, the incidents go back to about five years ago, after sentencing to her ten years in prison, after condemning her for killing her husband /Atallah Ga’far Atallah (Qatarian), after her confession before the Investigation Bureau and the Public Attorney. This confession, which she denied before the court during the trial and supported her denial by the report of  the legal medicine, which proves that she was exposed to torture during the period of detention, however the court didn’t take this in consideration and sentenced her the previous sentence. She didn’t have nothing to do but she resorted to appeal this sentence, and the session was specified after four years of the sentence in prison.      Before the Supreme court took a decision for the appeal, the fate had had another opinion, and a big surprise was burst, surprised the all by confessing some of the suspects, by chance, to committing this crime and many other crimes, and they denied the relation of  Habeba to this crime. Also, the legal medicine proved that the crime happened according to the confession of the true suspects and not to the one of the suspect Habeba, which she was condemned by it before the court.

The suspect Habeba assured that her confession was as a result of forcing her and the witnesses not to say their testimony by the way which helps her to prove her innocence. She assured that she was beaten and tortured psychologically, and she was forced to act the way of committing the crime, according to what she was told by the investigators.

As for the other citizens, they are Ragab Ibrahim Darwish, Mahmoud Ibrahim Darwish, Saber Hasan Rezk Elsayed and Bayoumy Shehata Rezk. The incidents go back to 2000, at which they were forced to confess to killing Khaled Abdeltawab, the case No 14860/2000 felonies of Toukh, and the court condemned them all, but the chance played a big role with them too, by the confession of the true suspect by committing this crime for theft.

Because the incidents was assuring that all the suspects was exposed to torture and forcing them to confess to crimes they didn’t commit, (HRAAP) relied on the Article 25 of criminal procedures which states that (each one knows of happening of a crime, the Public Attorney can eliminate the case without a complaint or an order, and inform the public Attorney). (HRAAP) asked the consultant to perform the necessary towards this announcement, and hearing all the testimonies of victims and suspects to assure of this incidents, and this for maintaining the citizen’s honor, which the Egyptian constitution protects it, and assured it the international documents.
