CLOSED: 'Tortured' Briton on trial in Iraq (petition)

Start date 13 Sep 2010
Close date 25 Jun 2012
Update date 19 Feb 2013
Ramze Shihab Ahmed © Private

68-year-old Ramze Shihab Ahmed was detained without charge or trial in Iraq for over a year. He alleges that he has been repeatedly tortured, including being suffocated with a plastic bag, suspended by his ankles and given electric shocks to sensitive parts of his body. He was recently charged with terrorism related offenses.

We are calling on the Iraqi government to guarantee that Ramze receives a fair trial and to independently investigate his allegations of torture in detention. Take action now
