A Lebanese man who was detained in the UAE two months ago on unspecified charges died in custody in mysterious circumstances.

Ghazi Ezz El-Din, a Lebanese citizen and father of three, was detained for an unspecified offense. His fate remained unknown until Wednesday, May 10, when his family got a call from the Security Investigation Center in Abu Dhabi asking them to pick up their son’s body.

The family was in shock, given that Ghazi was not suffering from any serious diseases, amid fears of being tortured to death.

According to the source, security officials did not allow his son to inspect the whole body, but only let him see his father’s face.

The family was forced to bury him at 10 p.m. amid tight security. “They did not allow them to wait until the morning, examine the body, or even repatriate it to Lebanon”.

These evidences have proven that Ghazi was subjected to severe beatings and tortured to death at the hands of the security services in Abu Dhabi.
