discolorations” on his right and left forearms, right elbow, left thigh, upper
left leg and left hip joint.5
21. The Complainants also state that the two Government examiners concluded
that “due to the long lapse of time and the fact that the marks were not
examined at the time they occurred, it was not possible to determine with
certitude the reason, manner or time of such marks.”6 According to the
Complainants, further charges were preferred against the First Victim during
his trial on 25 March 2006, in relation to the Taba bombings.
22. The Complainants submit that the Second Victim, Ossama Mohamed AbdelGhani Al-Nakhlawy, was arrested on 12 August 2005 and placed under
administrative detention pursuant to a decree of the Minister of Interior
issued under the Emergency Law.
23. The Complainants further submit that the Second Victim was also tortured
by SSI officers during the initial period of his detention and interrogation,
including the use of electric shocks, beatings and suspension from the roof in
painful positions. They state that the Second Victim was only informed of the
charges against him on 22 August 2005, when he first appeared before the
State Security Prosecutor for interrogation.
