Arabs No. 1 human rights violators

The royal families of Arab countries always known for luxurious life style and orgies. People knows very little that brutal they are? In a videotape featured on the ABC News segment, Shaikh Issa bin Zayed al Nahyan tortured his employee Moahmmed Shah Poor in October or November 2004 on a allegation of stealing $5000 worth of grains. With the assistance of police and others, using whips, electric cattle prods and wooden planks with protruding nails. Shaikh al Nahyan also poured a large container of salt on Poor's bleeding wounds. Near the end of the video, Shaikh positioned Poor on the desert sand and then drove over him repeatedly; the sound of what appears to be breaking bones is audible on the tape. Poor survived, although he still had to spend months in hospital with broken bones and internal injuries. The acts shown on the video constitute clear violations of the UAE's Constitution as well as international human rights law. Human Rights Watch called upon on the UAE government to immediately establish an independent body to investigate both the torture of the man, Mohammed Shah Poor, and the Ministry of Interior's failure to bring those involved to justice. A videotape of the attack was shown on an ABC News program on April 22, 2009 (http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=7407186 ). "The government's failure to prosecute those involved in this undisputed incident of torture and abuse at the hands of a royal family member and the police is an appalling miscarriage of justice," said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "What's even more shocking is the government's insistence that it investigated and found no violation of UAE laws." Not surprisingly, Human Rights Watch received a copy of a letter sent by the UAE's Ministry of Interior on April 8, 2009 to ABC News, in which the ministry did not characterize the abuse in question as torture, but simply as an assault that the parties subsequently settled "privately." It further concluded that its investigation found that the police "followed all rules, policies and procedures correctly." Neither the police department nor the Ministry of Interior has made public the findings of the police review and investigation of the matter, or the basis for their conclusion of proper police conduct.
