Left in a temporary paralysis, Gehad El-Haddad brutally beaten in his solitary cell

Gehad El-Haddad, the former spokesperson for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, was severely beaten yesterday by National Security Agency officer Ahmed Seif and prison guards in the notorious Scorpion prison. The official stormed Gehad's solitary cell in H2-Wing 2 and began beating him, intentionally targeting his head.

With the knowledge of prison authorities, Gehad has been suffering from vertigo and undiagnosed recurrent loss of consciousness. Gehad was left in a state of temporary paralysis with wounds and bruises on his body and head. The strikes to the head may have caused internal bleeding. All hospital transfer requests have been denied.

Gehad's family is expecting that the prison authorities will deny his scheduled visit to cover up their atrocities. The family holds the ministry of interior responsible for Gehad's life and well-being.

IRW Quality and Accountability Framework Statement | Islamic Relief Worldwide

نشرت الصحف المصرية في تغطيتها لجلسة قضية التخابر مع حماس الأحد الماضي والتي يحاكم فيها د. #عصام_الحداد تفاصيل غير دقيقة عن تمويل منظمة الإغاثة الإسلامية لعدة أنشطة إغاثية على مستوى العالم وعن بعض الجهات المانحة لها وهي المنظمة التي يتهم الدكتور عصام الحداد باستغلالها كواجهة للتخابر وللتمويل.

ومنظمة الإغاثة الإسلامية هي منظمة دولية مرموقة عمرها 33 عاما ومقرها بريطانيا، وتعتبر أكبر مؤسسة دولية غير حكومية خيرية إسلامية على مستوي العالم تقدم خدماتها الإغاثية والتنموية لأكثر من 5 مليون شخص من المسلمين وغير المسلمين في 40 دولة، وهي عضو استشاري في مجلس الأمم المتحدة الاقتصادي والاجتماعي، وعضو في شبكة المنظمات البريطانية الغير حكومية للتنمية، والمبادرة الدولية لشفافية المساعدات، ولجنة الطوارئ والكوارث البريطانية، والعديد من الشبكات والمبادرات الأخرى على مستوى بريطانيا والعالم في مجال العمل الانساني والتنموى.

وقد حازت المنظمة شهادة التميز في الشفافية من الحكومة البريطانية مرتين في عامي 2006 و2010 حيث يخضع تمويل المنظمة وجميع أنشطتها وحساباتها لمراقبة الحكومة البريطانية بشكل دوري طبقا للقانون.

يذكر أن الإغاثة تصدر تقريرا ماليا سنويا شاملا لكل إبراداتها ومصروفاتها يقدم لادارة الجمعيات في الحكومة البريطانية وينشر على موقعها (مرفق الرابط) وهو ما يستحيل معه استخدامها كواجهة للتمويل، وتعتمد في معظم تمويلها على التبرعات الفردية إلى مكاتبها المنتشرة حول العالم إضافة إلي مساهمات من هيئات وجهات دولية مثل برنامج الأمم المتحدة للطفولة (يونيسيف)، وبرنامج الأمم المتحدة الإنمائي، ومفوضية الأمم المتحدة للاجئين، وبرنامج الغذاء العالمي التابع للأمم المتحدة، والمفوضية الأوروبية للمساعدات اﻹنسانية والحماية المدنية، والبنك الإسلامي للتنمية، والعديد من الجهات المانحة والجمعيات العربية والإسلامية والدولية .

ويتم توجيه التبرعات لعدة مجالات أساسية تعمل فيها المنظمة هي: مشروعات الطوارئ لمواجهة الكوارث وحماية الحياة، محاربة الفقر، رعاية الأيتام والأطفال، توفير المياه والرعاية الصحية، ودعم التعليم والتنمية المستدامة.

كما أن الدكتور عصام الحداد كان عضوا مؤسسا للمنظمة أثناء دراسته ببريطانيا عام 1984، وقد انتهت علاقته بها عام 2012 قبل عمله بالرئاسة حيث استقال من منصبه كرئيس لمجلس الأمناء، وهو منصب شرفي لا يتقاضي من يشغله أية أتعاب من المؤسسة.

Misleading claims about Islamic Relief in media coverage of El-Haddad's court session

In their coverage for Sunday’s court session in the “espionage” case in which Dr. Essam El-Haddad is facing trial, Egyptian media published alleged details on the funding of Islamic Relief, an organization which Dr. Essam is accused of using as a cover for conspiracy and a front for funding illegal activities.

Islamic Relief Worldwide is a 33-year-old international organization based in the UK. The organization is considered the world's largest non-governmental Islamic charity, providing relief and development services to more than 5 million Muslims and non-Muslims in 40 countries. Islamic Relief is a consultative member at the UN Economic and Social Council, also a member of the British Overseas NGOs for Development (BOND), International Aid Transparency Initiative, Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC), and many other humanitarian and development networks and initiatives in the UK and globally.

Islamic Relief received the UK Government's Transparency Excellence Award twice in 2006 and 2010. The organization's funding and all its activities and accounts are subject to regular monitoring by the UK government according to law.

It is worth mentioning that Islamic Relief publishes a comprehensive annual financial report of all its revenues and expenses, which is submitted to the UK government and published on the organization website (link below), making it impossible to use it as a front for funding illegal activities. Most of Islamic Relief funding depends on individual donations to its offices around the world. Top institutional donors include UNICEF, UNDP, UNHCR, the World Food Program (WFP), the European Commission‘s Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO), the Islamic Development Bank and many other Arab, Islamic and international donors.

Donations are directed to several key areas in which Islamic Relief works including: emergency projects for disaster response and life protection, fighting poverty, orphan and child care, water and health care, and support for education and sustainable development.

Dr. Essam Al-Haddad was a founding member of the Islamic Relief during his postgraduate study in the UK in 1984. He resigned from his position as Chairman of the Board of Trustees in 2012 before working in the Egyptian Presidency. It was an honorary position with no payments from the organization.

MENA misquotes the Judge on Dr. Essam El-Haddad’s email

Middle East News Agency and some news sites including daily Al-Hayat misquoted the judge in “the espionage” case in which Dr. Essam El-Haddad is under trial. MENA’s report said the judge on Sunday’s session said an alleged email from Dr. Essam El-Haddad to a Muslim Brotherhood leader included analysis for the situation in Egypt after January 25th revolution and stated that “the armed forces should not be kept unified so that the Brotherhood can reach authority”, words that the judge have never said.

In other coverage for the session, both Al-Masry Al-Youm and Youm7 news sites quoted the judge as saying “the document from the email said… that one of the major goals for the Brotherhood is to prevent the army from uniting with the counter-revolution”, a very different goal from what MENA tried to illustrate.

Dr. Essam El-Haddad family attended the session and was astonished from the subsequent media coverage especially from media outlets that were considered reputable.
