Addameer Condemns the Israeli Attorney General's Decision to Close the Investigation against the Shabak for Committing Torture against Samer Arbeed
Today, 24 January 2021, the Israeli Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit closed the investigations against the Shabak (Israeli Security Agency) for the circumstances leading to prisoner Samer Arbeed's hospitalization as he was subjected to extreme torture techniques during interrogation that almost killed him. Rather than pressing a list of charges against the perpetrators of such a heinous crime, the Israeli Attorney General decides that "there are no grounds to prove that the crime of torture has been committed.”
