AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL OO MAR LABAAD
KU BAAQDAY IN SI DHAQSO XABSIGA LAGA SII DAAYO GABDHA 16-JIRKA, SAMSAM
AXMED DUCAALE,
"Gabadha 16-jirka ah ee lagu xiray
xukunka caddaalada ka fog waa si dhaqso loo sii daayaa..." Amnesty
International...
- Samsam maxkamada Hargeysa
markii lakeenay waxay garatay nin sarkaal ah oo ka tirasan "ciidanka
dembi baarista" ee loo yaqaan CID, kaas oo ka mid ah kuwii
kufsaday, ninkaas oo maxkamada kasoo jeedinayey in ay 'qiratay
shirqoolka'..."
- Samsam waxaa xabisga lagu saaray
cadaadis si ay uga laabato hadalak ah in la kufsaday, laakiin taas
Samsam waa diidey in ay ka laabato...
Warsaxaafadeed maanta (17/12/2004) kasoo baxay hay'adda udooda xuquuqda
aadamiga ee 'Amnesty International' ayaa sheegtay in Xariga Samsam Axmed
Ducaale uu yahay mid caddaalada ka fog, "waana in sida ugu dhaqsaha badan
xabsiga lagasiidaayaa ama xukun cadaalada la saaraa Samsam Axmed Ducaale"
ayey ku baaqday hay'adu.
Samsam Axmed Ducaale [Zamzam Ahmed Dualeh], oo 16-jir ah, waxaa 15kii
August 2004 laga xiray guriga Axmed Yuusuf Yaasiin, waxayna maxkamad
Hargeysa la saarayey ilaa 4tii Octoobar taas oo dhawr jeer maxkamadaas dib
loo dhigay. Waxaana Samsam lagu soo oogey basaasnimo, dacwadaas oo hay'adda
Amnesty ay ku tilmaantay mid aad uga fog caddaalada.
Samsam waxaa lagu xukumay 5 sano, waxaana la sii daayey Cumwar Jaamac
Warsame [Omar Jama Warsame], oo ah taxi-wadihii lala xiray Samsam.
Hay'adda Amnesty oo faahfaahineysa qoraalkeeda waxa ay tiri "Samsam Axmed
Ducaale keligeed ayaa looga tegey in ay is difaacdo bilowgii iyo dhammaadkii
dacwadaas. Hay'adaha xuquuqda u dooda ee degaanka ayaa diyaariyey afar
Qareen oo u dooda, laakiin markii ay weydiisteen in kiiska uu ka noqdo
Qareenka ku mudacayey ayaa Afrtii Qareen la xiray, in kasta oo mar dambe la
soo daayey.
Intii dacwadu socotey Samsam waxa ay sheegtay in la kufsaday, iyo in la
ciqaabay. Waxana ay sheegtay in aan waxba ka jirin dacwada lagu soo oogey.
Dacwada caddaalad daro ah:
Hay'adda oo hadalkeeda sii wadata waxa ay qortay: Amnesty International
waxay dacwadaas u tixgelineysaa mid si waxashnimo ah uga fog caddaalada,
dacwadaas oo aan lagu soo ban-dhigin wax cadayn ah oo muujinaya basaasnimo
ay ku dhaqaaqday Samsam. Taas oo weliba Qareenkii ku mudacayey Samsam uu
waxba kama jiraan ka soo qaaday hadalka Samsam ee ah in ay kufsadeen lix
kamid ah ciidanka dembi baarista ee loo yaqaan CID [Criminal
Investigation Department] iyo in ayada la ciqaabay.
Amnesty waxay tiri: Waxaa Samsam maxkamada lagu saaray sidii qof weyn,
laakiin waraaqaheeda aqoonsigu waxay muujinayaan in ay 16-jir tahay, sidaas
daraadeedna adduunka looga aqoonsan yahay ilmo ilaa 18-jir. Maxkamadaasi
waxay sheegatay in Samsam 17-jir tahay. Toddobaadyadii ugu horeeyeeyey
xabsigaeeda waxaa Samsam lagu xiray xarunta booliiska, kaddibna waxaa
loo gudbiyey xabsiga dhexe ee Hargeysa, xabsiga dadka waaweyn.
Amnesty oo hadalkeeddii sii wadata waxay tiri: Laba warbixinood oo ay
qoreen dhakhaatiirta xukuumada ayaa lagu sheegay in Samsam Axmed Ducaale la
baaray in la kufsaday, warbixinaadaas oo maxkamada laga sheegay laakiin
waraqahaas lama siin difaacayaasha Samsam. Waxayna hay'adu intaas ku sii
dartay in la weriyey in Samsam ay cadaadis saareen saraakiil katirsan
xukuumada iyo kuwo kale oo ku booqday xabsiga si ay uga laabato sheegashada
ah in la kufsaday iyo in la ciqaabay, laakiin ay Samsam arintaas diidey -
waa diidey in ay ka laabato. Maxkamada markii lakeenay waxay Samsam garatay
nin sarkaal ah oo ka tirasan CID, kaas oo ka mid ah kuwii kufsaday, ninkaas
oo maxkamada kasoo jeedinayey in ay "qiratay shirqoolka".
Wax jawaab ah oo Laga Waayeey Maamulka Hargeysa
Hay'ada xuquuqda u dooda ee Amnesty waxa ay intaas ku dartay in ay wax
jawaab ah ka weydey "xukuumada" Hargeysa kaddib markii ay warqad u direen
wasiirka "caddaalada", warqadaas oo ay hay'addu ku weydiisaneysey in uu
arinta Samsam si degdeg ah wax uga qabto oo ah in la siiyo xuquuqdeeda
carruurnimo iyo in uu wax ka qabta Qareenka diidey in uu baaritaan ku
sameeyo kufsiga iyo ciqaabta ay Samsam sheegatay in loo geystey iyo xabsiga
la xiray qareenadii u doodayey Samsam.
Si loo xushmeeyo dhawritaanka xuquuqda carruurnimo iyo in la xaqiiqsado in
ay Samsam hesho daryeel caafimaad, waxa ay Amnesty si rasmi ah qoraal markii
ugu horeysey arinta Samsam uga soo saartay 30kii November, qoraalkaas oo
weydiisanayey in Samsam xabsiga laga sii daayo.Amnesty International
waxay weysiisatey in arinta Samsam lagu sameeyo baaritaan maadax bannaan,
gaar ahaan baarintaanka ay sameeyaan dhakhaatiir khibrad u leh arintan oo
kale [kufsiga iyo ciqaabta] iyo khubaro caalami ah, arintaas oo waafaqsan
habka caalamiga ah. Baaritaankaas wixii ka soo baxana maxkamad la hor keeno.
Haddii kufsigaasu caddaado in cidii ka dambeysey maxkamad la soo taago oo la
mariyo ciqaab u dhiganta falkaas foosha xun, Samsamna magdhaw ku haboon la
siiyo.
Amnesty International waxa kale oo ay ka welwelsan tahay maxkamada Hargeysa
oo ku guul daraysatay in ay dhawrto qawaaniinta caalamiga ah, gaar ahaan in
la helo xukun cadaalad ah iyo in aan maxkamada la hor keeni karin akhbaar
qofka lagaga soo dhiraandhiriyey ciqaab, hab bini-aadamino ka bax ah, sharaf
dilid, si xun ula dhaqamid, iyo in qofku lahaado qareen difaaca, qareemo
awood u leh in ay gutaan xirfadooda ay qofka ku difaacayaan ayagoo aan la is
hor taagin, la carqaladayn, iyo in maxkamaddu ay ahaato mid aan dhinacna u
xaglinayn.ISHA:

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL
Public Statement
AI Index: AFR 52/005/2004 (Public)
News Service No: 323
17 December 2004
Somaliland: 16-year-old girl jailed in grossly
unfair espionage trial should be released or re-tried
Zamzam Ahmed Dualeh, sentenced to five years’ imprisonment on 15
December 2004, with the main charge being "procuring information
regarding the security of the state", should be released immediately
- or a re-trial, under conditions meeting international standards of
fair trial, should take place as soon as possible.
Zamzam Ahmed Dualeh, aged 16, was arrested on 15 August at the
Vice-President’s house and has been on trial since 4 October with
several adjournments. She was alleged to be obtaining secret
information about the Vice-President’s house on her visit to
Hargeisa from Puntland, which is almost at war with Somaliland over
disputed border regions. She denied the charge before the regional
court in Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland.
She was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment on the main charge and
an additional one year’s imprisonment for making a false statement
to police about her identity, making a total of five years’
imprisonment. An appeal is being submitted. Her co-defendant, Omar
Jama Warsame, a taxi-driver who was arrested and charged with her,
was acquitted.
Zamzam Ahmed Dualeh was left to represent herself at both the
start and the end of her trial. Local human rights defenders
arranged for four lawyers to defend her but after they asked the
judge to withdraw from the case as a result of alleged bias, the
judge jailed all four defence lawyers for four years for "insulting
the judge". They were freed on appeal on 11 December, when their
sentences were reduced to one year’s imprisonment or a fine, which
they paid.
During her trial, she complained that she had been raped and
tortured by police. She denied prosecution allegations that she was
involved in a conspiracy with a clandestine Islamist "terrorist"
group from the neighbouring Puntland Regional State of Somalia.
Unfair trialAmnesty International considers that her trial
was grossly unfair and produced no evidence to substantiate the
serious charge of espionage affecting the security of the state. The
judge summarily dismissed her allegations that she had been raped by
six police officers from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID)
officers and tortured.
She was tried as an adult, even though her identity card specifies
her age as 16 years, thus a child under the
internationally-recognized limit of 18 years. The court claims she
is 17. The judge reportedly said that the maximum sentence of ten
years’ imprisonment was reduced on account of her age. After the
first weeks of being held incommunicado in police custody, she has
been detained in Hargeisa Central Prison (a prison for adults),
where she is allowed visits.
Two reports and testimony by government doctors, said to have
assessed Zamzam Ahmed Dualeh’s rape allegations, were provided to
the court but not made available to defence counsel. She was
reportedly pressured by various government officials and others
visiting her in prison to withdraw her rape and torture allegations,
on promise of release, which she refused to do. In court, she
identified one of the alleged police rapists, a senior Criminal
Investigation Department officer, who was giving evidence for the
prosecution and claimed she had "confessed" to the alleged
conspiracy.
No reply from the government
Amnesty International has received no reply to its letter to the
Minister of Justice asking for urgent action on concerns about
Zamzam Ahmed Dualeh’s rights as a child, the judge’s failure to
institute formal investigations into the rape and torture
allegations, and several fair trial issues, including the
imprisonment of her defence lawyers.
In order to uphold the principles of child rights protection, and
also to ensure that she has all necessary medical treatment, Amnesty
International on 30 November, publicly requested that Zamzam Ahmed
Dualeh be provisionally released, rather than detained in an adult
prison for a prolonged and indefinite period.
Amnesty International requested that a fully independent and
impartial inquiry be established during the trial into the rape
allegations, in particular, including one or more medical
professionals experienced in rape investigations, bringing in
international expertise as needed. It requested that, in accordance
with international standards, the findings of the inquiry be
provided to the court, including defence counsel; and, if the
allegations were substantiated, those alleged to be responsible for
this serious crime be tried in accordance with procedures which meet
international standards of fair trial, and Zamzam Ahmed Dualeh
adequately compensated.
Amnesty International also expressed concerns about the failure of
the court to respect international standards of fair trial,
particularly the non-admissibility of statements obtained as a
result of torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment;
the right to legal defence representation; the right of lawyers to
perform all of their professional functions without intimidation,
hindrance, harassment or improper interference; and the right to
trial by a competent and impartial court.
