ANKARA (MEMO) – A lawyer has submitted a criminal complaint in Turkey against the UAE’s security chief Ahmed Nasser al-Raisi ahead of Interpol’s General Assembly which is being held at the end of the month. The UAE has nominated al-Raisi as president of the global policing body, in what lawyer Gulden Sonmez says is an effort “to launder the UAE’s reputation and cover up its human rights violations due to its systematic accusation of crimes against humanity.” Sonmez says al-Raisi “is accused of enforced disappearance, arbitrary detention, torture and sexual assault, committed under his responsibility and sometimes with his own participation,” adding that his arrest has been sought upon his arrival to Turkey to attend Interpol’s 89th General Assembly between 20-25 November.
