Hasan E.: Unconsciousness on the process after terrorist attack in Mecca!

Vienna, Österreich - A 20-year-old Lower Austrian, Hasan E., has been in custody in Saudi Arabia for over 14 months. He will be accused of doing a terrorist attack on the site of the Al Haram Mosque in Mecca on March 11, 2024. According to information from vienna.at The main hearing took place on May 7, but it is unclear whether this was actually. So far, the Foreign Ministry and the public prosecutor's office in Vienna have not been able to provide any details of the procedure, which indicates an opaque situation.

currently Hasan E. is located in the Dhahban high -security prison, which offers space for 7,500 inmates. Political prisoners and supporters of the so -called Islamic State (IS) are also housed in this prison. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch regularly report attacks and torture in Saudi Arabian prisons, which the authorities in Riyadh deny. According to reports, Hasan E. needed medical help due to serious psychological stress and is even said to have attempted suicide, such as the news portal Kurier.at reports.

vertebrae for telephone contacts and investigations

Hasan E. was allowed to call his mother in Istanbul until the end of March. However, regular contacts to the outside are hardly possible. Interpol officers visited him in prison and asked him about the prevented attack on a concert by Taylor Swift in Vienna. This investigation is apparently related to an IS terrorn network, which is attributed to Hasan E. that planned an attack on the concert. The Vienna public prosecutor also has an investigation into him for terrorist association and criminal organization.

On March 11, 2024, Hasan E. is said to have injured a security officer with a knife during an attack in the Al Haram Mosque. Another four people were violated by the incident. In addition, a group plan caused a sensation of like -minded accomplices from Austria, which at the same time planned attacks in Dubai and Istanbul. A main suspect, Beran A., is called, but who was afraid of performing the crime.

state of health and family backgrounds

The current state of health of Hasan E. remains unclear. During his time in custody, a visit to an Austrian delegation was held on his birthday last autumn. Hasan E. grew up in a small community in the Bruck/Leitha district and was shaped by family problems, which led to his isolation of friends and family. After the death of his father and the end of a relationship, he finally moved to Istanbul and a trip to Mecca.

his brother filed an indication display when he received an email from Hasan E., in which he apologized and expressed his wish to be buried in Mecca. So far there is no official information about the course of the criminal proceedings or possible punishments against him. These uncertainties also affect the concerns of his family.

The situation for foreign prisoners in Saudi Arabia is generally tense. The death penalty is also used there as part of the repression apparatus, and the number of executions rose alarming from 172 in 2023 to 345 in 2024, as can be seen from AMNESTY International reports. The reporting on the conditions of detention also shows that many migrant workers often have to suffer from extreme conditions, which focuses on the entire human rights situation in Saudi Arabia.
