In spite of documented reports,211 consistent, and credible testimonies of the occurrence of the crime of torture that may have led to death, those involved have not been convicted of the charges of torture.

The five suspects attended 210 This is what came in the Chief of Military Justice, Major General Ahmad Al‐Mbayed’s response to ICHR’s letter on a number of cases where the military courts issued rulings on crimes of torture and ill‐ treatment No. PO. A. P / 2010 / 1367 dated 09/12/2010. 211 According to the medical report dated 07/02/2010 and signed by the Director of the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Abu Dis University, the direct cause of death was caused by "clogged arteries, pulmonary (stroke) resulting from doubling the bruised tissues under the skin resulting from direct torture."
