Maad Mohammad Mawaheb Tayeh

Description

As of the 10th of September 2011, a young doctor, Maad Mohammad Mawaheb
Tayeh, was arrested while in his clinic in the city of Latakia, Syria.

Dr. Maad subsequently was not released until now, and he was left without
specific condemning accusations, which contradicts not only norms and laws
including the Syrian Constitution, but also to all human rights.

Current news report that the young dentist, and the father of four
children, will be converted to the military field court which is even a new
violation to the norms and customary laws of the Syrian Constitution,
because of him being a civilian. In addition, his seizure forms a clear
paradox with the suspension of the State of Emergency and the Martial Law,
as stated by official authorities in Syria several months ago, knowing that
false charges are issued against many detainees converting them to field
military courts for malevolent purposes after clutching different
confessions from them under implausible cruel torture. Latest news acquired
is that Maad was visited by relatives at the 28th of December, 2011 in
Sydnaya prison near Damascus, where implications of torture were
significant.

He also showed his suffering from starvation, showing that he lost about
60% of his weight. It was also discovered that Dr. Maad was presented to
field military court on the 22nd of December, 2011, where all charges
fabricated against him were denied by him.

In the 3rd of January, 2012, Dr. Maad was visited again, and he was
presented to the same court again, but the details were not identified
since the detainee is not allowed any representation or defense, or a
lawyer in these types of court, hence Dr. Maad can be sentenced to
execution because of the false accusations by this regime, and because no
lawyer can represent him in this case.
