According to the information received, in May 2014, Mr. Husain Abu al Khair, a Jordanian national, was arrested for drug trafficking while crossing the border between Jordan and Saudi Arabia. During his arrest and subsequent detention, he was reportedly subjected to torture. In May 2015, he was sentenced to death by the Tabouk criminal court following a trial which did not respect basic fair trial and due process guarantees, in particular the right to have access to a lawyer. Concern is raised that the death penalty may be carried out against Mr. Al Khair following an unfair trial and for an offense which does not meet the threshold of “most serious crimes”; further concern is raised that the victim may have been subjected to torture for the purpose of extracting a confession.
