Your Excellency,
I respectfully draw your attention to the following.
Faruq Muhammad Salama Abu Hassan, a 43-year-old post office inspector, has been held in incommunicado detention for more than three years.
On the evening of 8 November 1994, a Military Intelligence officer came to Faruq´s home and asked him to go for a 10-minute interview. Faruq left with the officer, and has not been seen by relatives, or legal counsel, since. As of December 1997, he was being held in Gaza Central Prison. It is believed that since his arrest, Faruq Abu Hassan has not been brought before any Palestinian court.
Faruq´s wife, Zahira Abu Hassan, has contacted the Minister of Justice and Attorney General, but has not been able to find out the reason for his detention. She is also concerned that her husband may not be receiving adequate medical treatment - he suffered a spinal injury after being shot in the back during the intifada.
Your Excellency, I ask you most respectfully to order for the immediate and unconditional release of Faruq Muhammad Salama Abu Hassan, or to have him charged with a recognisable criminal offence and given a trial which meets international fair trial standards. I also urge you to give Faruq acces to relatives, legal counsel and appropriate medical treatment while he is still in detention.
I look forward to receiving your response in the near future.
Yours sincerely,
