Seyaj requests that the Hajjah Governorate Prosecution Office conclude the investigation into the suspect of raping a 12-year-old girl (E.Y.A.) to death as soon as possible and refer him to competent courts for urgent trials.
In a letter to the Chief Prosecutor, Judge Abdullah Al-Olafi, Seyaj said:
“In support of the judiciary’s efforts to achieve justice for children, we ask Your Eminence to conclude criminal investigations and refer the suspect to competent courts so that they are promptly tried and prosecuted, given the gravity and horror of the crime. We ask that the measures taken ensure the preservation of the rights of the victim’s family and society, reject impunity for perpetrators, and serve as a precautionary measure against recurrence.”
While Seyaj thanks the security services in the governorate for their efforts in apprehending the suspect, the crime that occurred in late August has not yet reached the judiciary.
