Detailed description of violation:
When Mrs Badria Abu Meri was arrested in May 2010, media reported that she had been taken into custody for her own protection although she was in fact summoned on alleged implication in a crime. Years later, she remains in Baabda prison – after being tortured and held without sentence for over 32 months. In November 2012, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention found her deprivation of liberty to be arbitrary in its Opinion based on information submitted by Alkarama earlier in the year and recommends that she be released immediately.
