A/HRC/18/53 5. Evidence of conviction of Mr. Ali Al Khateeb, father of the victim, declaring that his son’s cadaver is intact, not tampered with. He ultimately formulated his conviction in presence of committee members, and asked to keep his statement out of the written report for fear for his life of Daraa’s extremist groups retaliation, in case they discover that he had altered his convictions about the rumors spread by biased press and mass media concerning the amputation of his son’s penis. This new conviction of Ali Al Khateeb is based on discussing facts with committee members, in addition to viewing official judicial documents, photos, medical experts’ report and the comparative illustration of cadaver photos taken in Daraa, and Damascus. 6. It is proven that hostile third parties have commissioned certain persons to influence information about facts, and to apply digital manipulations on photos of the cadaver of Hamza Al Khateeb.
