Interpol president probed for torture – media
French anti-terror prosecutors have opened a preliminary inquiry into Ahmed Naser Al-Raisi, the Interpol president and Inspector General of the United Arab Emirate’s (UAE) Interior Ministry, over allegations of suspected torture, AFP reported on Thursday citing unidentified judicial officials.
Back in January, the Gulf Centre for Human Rights (GCHR), a Lebanon-based NGO, filed a complaint against Al-Raisi for his actions while he was serving at the UAE interior ministry.
The organization accused him of mistreating Emirati opposition figure Ahmed Mansoor Al Shehhi.
