The Shocking History of ‘Al Wathba’ Central Prison, Abu Dhabi and a ‘Culture of Deception & Secrecy’

THE SHOCKING HISTORY OF ‘AL WATHBA’ CENTRAL PRISON, ABU DHABI AND A ‘CULTURE OF DECEPTION & SECRECY’

The article about Al Wathba Central Prison, Abu Dhabi, appeared sometime back in the Nationalae, [a government-owned English-language newspaper published in Abu Dhabi] exposed just a little bit of truth and full of lies of the most notorious prison in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The author of the article was not in a position to reveal the facts about the cruelties and brutal conditions once existed there, and the changes that have taken place to respect the Human Rights.

This ‘Judgment Creditor’, an Indian investor, was arbitrarily detained at Al Wathba Prison, in order to withdraw a civil lawsuit in his favour in 1995 – 96. His opponents were not ordinary criminals, they were the ‘custodians of the law’ and the de facto ruler of the Abu Dhabi, UAE. Despite his holding 4 consecutive Judgments absolutely in his favour from Abu Dhabi Courts including the Supreme Court, he was deported by them to save face further to escape from the Court ordered reparations.

On reaching India, he took up his case [the non-execution of the 'Court Judgments including the Investigation Orders' against the Abu Dhabi Police and beyond], along with the pleas and sufferings of hundreds of Al-Wathba prisoners to the United Nations, International NGO’s including the media.

Dear readers are requested to go through (please do) the materials and documents furnished herein below and realize the type of torture and ill-treatments that were given in those days to the inmates at Al Wathba Central Prison, Abu Dhabi.

THE SITUATION IN ‘CENTRAL PRISON, AL WATHBA, ABU DHABI, UAE’ IN 1995 – 1996 – AS SEEN BY THE JUDGMENT CREDITOR:-

The Wathba Central prison was overcrowded with more than three thousand prisoners, mostly Indian nationals. In scorching heat of the desert, within concrete cages, prisoners were made to live in inhuman conditions without the basic necessities of life. Not even a fan was provided in those concrete cages.

Hundreds of ‘prisoners’ rotting in different blocks who have lost their mental balance and the ability to lead a normal life once they are released. Visiting dignitaries were led through separate corridors of the prison where there is discipline and respect for law.

ONLY ROTTEN AND SPOILED FOOD WERE GIVEN TO THE PRISONERS:-

The food was most unpalatable and unhygienic. Prisoners sustain their life with fermented camel meat and wormy food-grains and clamoured there for a glass of cold water in the hot summer days.

Many prisoners were dumped in the corridors and pinning for a little cool breeze. Even a breath of fresh air was a precious boon for them! The heartening fact is that many innocents are made to languish here under the banner of criminals which cast a stigma on them for life.

‘Alliance Judgment Recovery’ Launches Global Campaign to Expose the UAE fraudster(s) and its counterparts in India, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the Government of India, who fooled the whole world for the last two decades, in this case.

“Twenty one years of arbitrary detention in various forms by the UAE administration, denying fundamental rights and grossly offending the values of human dignity”.

The UAE has so far failed to recognize and protect the rights to justice despite 4 consecutive judgments in absolute in favour of an Indian investor, the ‘Judgment Creditor’. He was denied dignity, respect, his freedom and access to his business assets spread over three establishments in Abu Dhabi, UAE from 1995. All that pending is the ‘execution of those Judgements, solely due to the inhuman approach of the concerned authorities representing both India and UAE.

The State practice of International Law in India is purely based on vote-bank politics. No justification can exist for ignoring such an extreme violations of Human Rights. ‘Full Text’

The enforcement of UAE Judgment is stressful but ultimately very rewarding!

[“A creditor is worse than a slave-owner,” Victor Hugo once wrote. “For the master only owns your person, but a creditor owns your dignity, and can command it."]
There are diabolical debtors who hide Judicial decisions, commit fraud or other heinous acts to avoid honouring their obligations under the judgments. The enforcement process, therefore, becomes time consuming, expensive and stressful. Whatever the reason may be, the UAE Judgment debtor(s) will stand as the fiscally responsible party until the Court Judgment is satisfied. His responsibility to do so will pass on to his successor-in-office; the successor regime is obliged to compensate the victim of state wrongs.

In the instant case, the ‘Defaulter-Judgment debtor(s)’  can be legally proceeded against. Besides, the Judgment Creditor is entitled to ‘Mortgage’ his Judgment; the Debtor’s assets could be seized and sold to satisfy the debts. The Judgment Creditor is also legally eligible to transfer his Judgment, part or whole.

Feedback: “We are shocked at the incredible extent of inhuman cruelty against which the whole world should wake up. Your account should get wider publicity, so that larger number of people would become aware of such denial human rights”. … ‘Full Text’

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A CASE LIKE THIS?

A true story of ‘outright fraud’ perpetrated by a wealthiest ruling regime of the world, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Getting a Judgment in a civil lawsuit means the ‘Decree holder’ is then entitled to recover the money and damages from the debtor. But in this unique and historic case that arose in Abu Dhabi, the ‘Emirati debtor’ , who took it as a revenge, trespassed into the office of the ‘Decree holder’ along with his accomplice, a ‘Policeman’ in plain clothes, who held a heavy iron rod of one meter length in one hand and on the other hand a chained handcuff; with which the Decree holder was beaten up in cold blood and a well-planned looting and extortion was forced up on.

The policeman forcibly broke open the office locker with the iron rod in his hand and looted US$.4m worth money and valuables. The Decree holder locked the door and called the police for protection. The police did come, but instead of protecting him from the trespassers, they joined hands with them and the Decree holder was attacked further, shackled, brutally tortured and was literally dragged out of his office and taken to secret ‘detention centre’ . The Decree Holder who was the ‘complainant’ in the civil lawsuit in a ‘Real Estate Deal’ of a nine storeyed building against the said ‘Emirati debtor’, involving above USD 3,00,000.00 Per Annum (INR 2 Crores), way back in the year 1995, had been blackmailed, treated as a ‘criminal’ and was beaten near-death.

The ‘Decree holder’ became unconscious and soon thereafter he was taken to hospital-emergency, Abu Dhabi. He was subjected to the greatest ordeals by being taken from hospital to an ‘underground lock-up’ and kept  incommunicado in solitary confinement. The victim was later taken to central prison at Al Wathba, Abu Dhabi. It took a long period of six months for the person to have his first appearance in the Court. The victim was implicated for ‘using force against Government employee and assault’.

The criminal court found that the case was fully false and fabricated, therefore, the Court ordered the Prosecution to investigate the crime committed by the policemen and the local. Instead of investigating the crime, the Prosecution went to appeal. When the Apex Court of Abu Dhabi, comprising a three-judge panel, ordered the immediate release of the victim from prison, all of them dropped the charges they had deliberately made against the victim, the ‘Decree holder’.

The Court ordered the state authority to prosecute both the policemen and the local Emirati and to restore the victim’s dignity and to compensate him for all his losses. “The Court, the three-judge supreme bench, praised the appropriate conduct and courage of the victim in their ‘Landmark Judgment’ and concluded that the victim is innocent; rather ‘a martyr.

Even though the Juries in different Courts of Abu Dhabi, had taken a series of decisions in this case, in absolute terms in favour of the victim, strangely enough, none of those Court Orders were executed by the UAE authority. Instead of rightly accepting the blame for the gross misconduct of their Policemen and also the Prosecution, the ‘State authority issued an ‘extremely fraudulent order’ to expel the ‘Decree holder’ from their country, as if he had been punished for a crime. The ‘Decree holder’, the then holder of ‘four consecutive Judgments’ in absolute terms in his favour, therefore, was deported from the UAE, that too at highest risk of being multiplied victimization.

‘Such a punishable fraud of misrepresenting the facts perpetrated by the UAE authority, for deporting the ‘Judgment Creditor’, who was an Indian investor with ‘three valid trade licenses’ of well established and profitable ‘General Contracting and Trading Firms’ under his full ownership in Abu Dhabi’ (The assets of which were valued a minimum One Hundred Million US$ Dollars at the time of his mishap in Abu Dhabi), resulting in total destruction of his life, his businesses and his profession, adds inescapable burden on the ‘Wilful Defaulters’  of Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Back in India, consequent on the gravest cruelties and injustices meted out to him in Abu Dhabi, UAE, it was the primary duty of the ‘Government of India’ to protect the ‘Judgment Creditor’, his dignity and justice; and to help the victims of many other forms in a similar situation in that country. Unfortunately, this historic case of a Non-resident Indian-investor had been buried in the darkness for two decades by the Indian authorities, despite repeated representations and two specific Judgments from Delhi High Court in 1997 & 2007 respectively which were filed by the ‘Judgment Creditor’ as directed by the Supreme Court of India.

It was the statutory obligation of Government of India to take all necessary measures as instructed by the High Court of Delhi as early in the year of 1997 in order to enforce the valid Legal Judgments, passed by the Supreme Court of Abu Dhabi, UAE. “The subject who has suffered the injury is not the individual person but the State itself”; as explained by ‘Professor Theo van Boven’ (1934-1983).

The sending state, Government of India, is solely responsible for the act or omission that violates the ‘Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (VCCR) 1963’ particularly Article 5, enforced from 19-3-1967.

“The foreign State, UAE, was bound to provide appropriate reliefs to the ‘Judgment Creditor’, whose ‘Constitutional Rights’ have been blatantly violated in the first place by Abu Dhabi police to extort money and valuables.

The UAE authorities were further bound to provide proper remedies for the repeated victimizations which the ‘Judgment Creditor’ was forced to suffer as a consequence of the unique and the most barbaric, ‘fraudulent misrepresentation’ perpetrated by the executive branch to ‘deport’ him from that country. It has resulted in the colossal losses of billions of US$ Dollars to the Judgment Creditor’s various business institutions in the UAE, apart from the consequences of his physical and psychological trauma, the emotional pain and ‘sufferings’ which forced him to live a lost life for all the years that followed”.

‘Indo-Gulf Reparation Mechanisms’

The accumulated ‘case histories of injustices’ received by the ‘Overseas Indians’ Legal Cell (Est.1996)’ from different quarters of Arab Gulf, forced the ‘Judgment Creditor’ to endeavour towards formulation and implementation of the ‘Mutual Human Rights Law and Reparation Mechanisms’ between the Government of India and the Gulf (Gulf Cooperation Council – GCC) countries, mandating our elected representatives and officials to effectively intervene in eliminating discrimination and imbalances of ‘Indian Diaspora’ working in different countries.

The enforcement of Judgments and legal remedies is a fundamental element of the rule of law which is an integral part of ‘Indo-Gulf Reparation’ Movement; this also involves the recognition and protection of the dignity of individuals. The mandate of the UN General Assembly resolution ‘A/RES/60/147’ reads the ‘States should ensure that their domestic law is consistent with their international legal obligations’.

The regional inter-Governmental Human Rights Mechanisms of ‘American States’ signed with its neighbouring countries in 1948, the ‘Council of Europe’ adopted it in 1950, and the similar ‘Charter in Africa’ adopted in 1987, are prominent illustrations of the expanding vistas of Human Rights. This constitutional approach basically protects them from all forms of exploitation and social injustices from foreign States even outside the Charter.

It’s a ‘shameful fact’ that similar arrangements haven’t even been conceived yet by the Government of India. As a result, the Indian expatriates are exposed to the extreme degree of Human Rights Violations in the Arab Gulf. Once the ‘Charter’  is implemented, millions of ‘Indian Diaspora’ and their families will be the primary beneficiaries of ‘Indo-Gulf Reparation Mechanisms’ .

The preface of ‘Indo-Gulf Reparations’ Booklet’ was written by the late ‘Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer’ (a renowned Jurist and former Judge of the Supreme Court of India), and the covering letter was written by ‘Mr. K. Sukumaran’ , a former Judge of the High Courts of Kerala and Bombay, who pleaded for the ‘Judgment Creditor’ before the Supreme Court and the High Court of Delhi.

HERE WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT’S THE LEGAL POINTS OF INTEREST:

“The Doctrine of State Immunity”

In a landmark case, the ‘secret’ wife of the late King of Saudi Arabia has won the right to sue his son and Saudi prince for breaching a contract. The king’s son, argued he had “state immunity” and the court had no jurisdiction to try Mrs Harb’s claim. But Mrs Justice Rose, the High Court of England and Wales, threw out the prince’s argument, confirming that personal immunity ceases when a head of State is no longer in office for any reason.

“Decree Holders Entitled to Enjoy Fruits of the Decree Expeditiously” -
Says Supreme Court of India !

A three-judge bench of the Supreme Court of India has observed that Decree Holders must enjoy the fruits of the decree obtained by them in an expeditious manner. The Bench, speaking through Justice Dave, has noted the unscrupulous tactics used by Judgment Debtors to evade the process of law and eventually frustrate the entire efforts of a Decree Holder in getting the decree executed. Link: ‘Supreme Court Judgment’

“How does fraud affect a victim? ‘The impact of fraud on victims’ -
Supreme Court of India

The term “Fraud” has been clearly analyzed and adjudged by the highest Judiciary of India. The Supreme Court reiterated that ‘fraud vitiates all’ and also the age old saying ‘Fraud avoids all judicial acts ecclesiastical or temporal’. Fraud is an act of deliberate deception with a design to secure something, which is otherwise not due. The expression “fraud” involves two elements, deceit and injury to the person deceived. It is a cheating intended to get an advantage. Link: ‘Supreme Court Judgment’

Solidarity with UAE lawyers

Earlier this month, the UN special rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers, Gabriela Knaul, published the findings of her nine-day visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Knaul concluded that the UAE judiciary is under the ‘de facto’ control of the government; that lawyers are working without detailed understanding of a critical state security law that was enacted but never published; that lawyers are threatened, harassed, pressured and placed under surveillance by UAE authorities; and that evidence against defendants is ‘sometimes manipulated and fabricated by the police or other security agencies and the prosecution’.

Knaul also stated that there is ‘credible information and evidence’ that detainees are arrested without warrant, blindfolded, taken to unknown places, held incommunicado, sometimes for months, and tortured.

Among the cases that were brought to Knaul’s attention were the convictions last year of a number of lawyers on charges of ‘plotting to overthrow the state’ after an unfair trial marred by irregularities. Those convicted to lengthy sentences included former judges Ahmed al-Zaabi and Mohammed Saeed al-Abdouli, prominent human rights lawyers Dr Mohammed al-Mansoori and Dr Mohammed al-Roken, and their lawyer Salem al-Shehhi, who was arrested at the offices of the state security prosecutor where he sought information about his clients.

All were arbitrarily detained for months and complained of being tortured in detention, including through prolonged solitary confinement, physical beating and sleep deprivation.

Knaul was also prevented from visiting Qatari physician Mahmoud al-Jaidah in prison despite expressing grave concerns about torture and due process in his case. Dr al-Jaidah was arbitrarily detained for nine months in a secret prison in Abu Dhabi before he was charged. The verdict in his case will be announced on 3 March, although until now no fewer than three lawyers have ceased to represent him within days of being instructed and no lawyer has been permitted to visit him.

We stand in solidarity with the lawyers in the UAE and call upon the authorities to unconditionally release them and quash their convictions. The UAE must understand that its persecution of members of the legal profession and its manipulation of the judiciary have damaged its reputation more than the words and actions of any single dissident.

What, man, defy the devil: Save mankind from dictators!
18 July, 2013 Reports, UAE Human Rights

Abu Dhabi is the largest and wealthiest member of the United Arab Emirates. The country is attributed to authoritarian regime in which the government is ruled. Indeed the key challenges facing the UAE includes lack of accountability and total lack of judicial independence remain critical. Abu Dhabi is notorious for it’s Human Rights records, including “arbitrary arrests, torture, hiring and using foreign mercenaries in order to avoid pro-democracy protests in the Emirates as well as joins hand with their cronies to crush any democratic movements in the region. They have been supporting the Egyptian traitors to destroy the nation and make people worse than they are. They mounted up worth $12 billion in aid packages to bless the bloody military coup in Egypt, to restore the old authoritarian order against democracy.

Etihad Airways, the Abu Dhabi-owned airline, commenced commercial operations in November, 2003, is one of the rapidly expanding airlines under the rule of a tyrant. Etihad has singled out from rivals Qatar Airways and Emirates, in a highly competitive region, by code share agreements with its partners. Etihad purchased nearly 30 percent of Air Berlin, Europe’’s sixth largest carrier, when Lufthansa has tried to block the Gulf carriers’ access to German airports. Aside from Air Berlin, Etihad has expanded its global network through three other equity stakes including a 10 per cent holding in Virgin Australia, a 40 per cent stake in Air Seychelles and smaller stakes in Virgin Australia and Ireland’s Aer Lingus.

The media has reported that the Etihad Airways and other Gulf Carriers benefits from access to discounted or free aviation fuel, free corporate tax and non-union labour, particularly low-wage contract workers from India and Pakistan. Etihad Airways now converts Abu Dhabi International Airport as a major hub for connecting flights to their final destinations.

Etihad Airways, the flag carrier of the UAE, is based at Abu Dhabi International Airport. The money power and the shrewd rulers of Abu Dhabi, it would appear, are out to capture the whole world. At a glance, no one will find anything unusual about the move of that country, under the guise of economic progression, in joining hands with other airlines. The dangers of such a collaborative movement, as indicated above are sure to take over the world in general and the involving countries in particular.  Once they succeed in these efforts, it is certain that these evildoers would easily make the supporting countries to their ‘economic slaves’.

The history of Abu Dhabi has revealed widespread fraud and financial manipulations in the largest bank fraud in world financial history, described as the BCCI Banking Scandal. The State-owned Etisalat-PTCL’s privatization deal, a multi-billion dollar corruption scandal in Pakistan’’s history that followed. Doubtless, the autocratic rulers of Abu Dhabi is empowered with unaccountable wealth from tapping the immense natural oil and gas reserves. The history repeated in India in 2011 as revelations of the ‘2G Spectrum’ case in India foiled another attempt of Etisalat to make illegal gains in partnership with Swan Telecom. Not to mention the old but real stories of child camel jockeys, aged between 2 and 5 kidnapped mainly from Indian sub-continent and for their use in camel jockeying in Abu Dhabi.
