After they tried the man and cut his hair, he suddenly and unexpectedly died. Of course he wasn’t tortured, rather he unfortunately fell in an attempt to flee.
In Saudi Arabia, the death of a young man is causing a stir when he died after his detainment by the Islamic religious police. The Saudi newspaper “Al-Watan” reported Wednesday that a member of the authorities for the Advancement of Virtue and Prevention of Blasphemers had arrested the 28-year-old Hassan Nabil Hmeid the previous week in the province of Asir because he didn’t like the Jordanian’s long hair. He along with a police officer arrested him and cut his hair.
Tortured by the Islamic police? Victim had serious head injuries
On Wednesday of the previous week, a friend picked him up from the building of the religious police. As the father of the dead reports to the newspaper, his son had already fallen into a coma at this point in time. The young man was brought to a hospital where he died as the result of a head injury and a hematoma on the brain. The father believes that his son was abused by the religious police. The regional governor of Ahad Rafida, Said bin Meyri, stated to the contrary that the young man fell four meters in an attempt to flee his arrest. Most of the readers of this article, however, blamed the religious police for his death. “May God judge you all!”, wrote one of them.
