The accused of terrorism, Muhammad Jibriel, admitted
that he had always been tortured during his detention
by the police. The torture only ended when he was
moved to the Brimob Detention Centre, Kelapa Dua,
Depok. "From the day I was arrested, until the
fourth days after that, I was continously tortured,"
Jibriel said in front of the judges in the trial,
where he revealed the kinds of torture done on him
which include being beaten with rattan canes, having
his face punched and having his beard plucked. Besides
that, Jibriel also admitted to have been forced to
take off his cloths for him to be photographed by
them. Crazy!
Torture has become a part of the techniques to probe
information's from the accused of terrorism. It has
become common knowledge. At least this technique was
copied from their elder i.e. America, when they want
to dig up information from the Mujahideen. One more
atrocity that had been hidden by America was exposed.
After the torture in Abu Ghuraib and the abuse in
Guantanamo, now the existence of tortures by the
American secret agents, the CIA, in secret prisons was
exposed. A number of those secret prisons are located
in Eastern Europe, Afghanistan, Thailand, on carrier
vessels that are spread in several offshores, as well
as some other places.
One of those who was detained and tortured was
apparently a German citizen of a Lebanese descendant
named Khalid Al Masri. This guy, who in his everyday
life worked as a car salesman, was kidnapped by the
CIA in December 2003 while on vacation in Macedonia.
After being arrested, Khalid was straight away flown
to Afghanistan to be interrogated. For five months in
the secret prison, he faced various tortures. In May
2004, he was transferred to Albania. After being
tortured, he was then freed just like that. This had
made the German public reacted strongly. Days later it
was discovered that the CIA had arrested a wrong
person!
Beside Khalid, the tragic fate was also experienced by
an Italian scholar, Hassan Mustafa Usamah Nasr. This
man who seeked asylum from Egypt was arrested in the
street in Milan without a clear legal basis. The CIA
then notified the anti-terror forces of Italy that
Nasr had been flown to the Balkan. Italy later learned
that Nasr had been taken to Egypt to be tortured and
interrogated.
The same tragic case also happened to Wahab Al Rami, a
British businessman. He was arrested in Gambia in
November 2002. Whereas, a few days earlier, a
Palestinian asylum seeker had been declared free of
terrorism charges by the British court. Al Rami was
then taken to Guantanamo without a clear legal basis.
He finally was freed of course. This also received a
lot of criticism. Milton Bearden, the man who have had
a career with the CIA for 30 years was amongst those
who is highly critical of how the CIA interrogate
prisoners through tortures. ''Torture is a way
that will bring harm to your (CIA's) self,'' he
said.
The pattern of a torture is considered to be an
effective way of opening the mouth of the captives.
Concern no longer exists, whether this would violate
the Human Rights or not. It is already proven that the
Human Rights and its strugglers will only care about
the party that is in their favour. As if the
defendants have no right to be defended and there is
no need of providing defence for them. So, there
appears in our minds a question, why must torture be
done to the accused of terrorism, and not to the
accused of corruption and pornography, where there is
an excess of them? Why didn't they get the same
treatment? Instead, they get a special and privileged
place in the prison. An unfair treatment indeed!
It is time for legal activists to want to care about
this. To prevent and stop tortures that have been done
under any argumentation because everyone has equal
rights before the law. So there should be no thuggery
in the name of the law which whacks the innocent
people.
May Allah avenge the tyranny of His creatures with
just penalties and help the Mujahideen in the
battlefield or those who are tyrannized by the
authorities.
“There is nothing to be sad about in every trial,
insha Allah. All must rise, even if I have to go to
jail for five years, even if I have to be shot,”
Muhammad Jibriel.
The Muslimeen will be victorious.
The Mukmineen will definitely win.
The Mujahideen must win.
The kafireen must fall.
The munafiqeen will surely be destroyed.
O Allah, help the Believers.
Make Islam win, O Allah.
Destroy disbeliefs and hypocrisy, O Allah.
O Allah, You are watching us all, O Allah.
Please help us from the kafir people, O Allah,
from the munafiq and mushrik people.
O Allah You are the All-Knowing.
Ameen ya Rabbal 'Alameen
