UNDER WHOSE ORDERS IS A PERSON DETAINED. IS IT BY A COURT ORDER OR THE CID DECIDES AND INFORMS THE COURTS. SO THIS IS "..... ONE LAW"COUNTRY

Most probably, Hesbullah won't return home. Many believe, the interrogation was over, the issue is; how to fabricate his death seems bit more complicated.

A person must be arrested if there is sufficient evidence to prosecute charges. After arrest a suspect should not be in custody until investigations are complete. Suspect must be bailed with conditions. I believe that is the law of the land.

One person decides the fate of millions without any evidence. One country with law’s to suit individuals

A terrorist that massacred lives at large gets cleared from charges to leave scott free but a lawyer who fought in the cause of human rights and justice gets rigourus accusation . Two face government could do.
