البوليس البريطاني يستعرض مع BBC سيناريو إغتيال عبد السلام حسن المدافع عن حقوق الانسان (فيديو) 

Quote: At 0710 on Saturday 13th March 2010, the body of 56-year-old Abdel Salam Hassan Abdel Salam was found slumped in the doorway of his flat in Boone Street, Lewisham. He had been stabbed several times in various parts of his body including his face and stomach. He received a fatal wound in his leg, and bled to death on the floor.

Quote: Wounds found on Abdel Salam'’s hands, suggest that there would have been a struggle during the incident, and that he was trying to defend himself. The incident has devastated his former wife, Wafa, and only child Azza. "There are certain people that make you feel everything is okay, the world is an okay place. My dad was the person who did that for me. I'm never going to have that now."

Quote: But the loss of Abdel Salam has also had an impact on a great number of other people. A committed Human Rights Lawyer and devoted campaigner for peace, Abdel Salam had come to the UK having been exiled from Sudan in the late 80s for his work in defending victims. He resumed his work here, and worked tirelessly to fight against the injustice suffered by torture victims.

Quote: Described as an "intellectual, engaging and jovial" man, Abdel Salam is said to have had a "real way with people" by his colleague, Lutz Oette, who worked with him at Redress, London. Abdel Salam previously worked for the Human Rights Watch, Sudan Human Rights Organisation and Justice Africa. Published in his campaigning works for better treatment of Sudanese civilians, he was frequently consulted on political and international legal matters. Lutz also said of him "He abhorred violence, he was a very peaceful man. It makes it all the more tragic that he died in the way he did."

Quote: He was described as an inspiration to those he fought to protect and worked with, encouraging and mentoring a new generation of Human Rights Lawyers alongside his own work.

Quote: Abdel Salam's family and friends are shocked and distraught by his death, and are struggling to understand why anyone would want to murder him. Attending police officers could find no evidence of a robbery, and the motive remains unconfirmed. Abdel Salam was well known and well liked in the local community. He walked with a stick due to a leg injury and would have been fairly vulnerable to attack. Given his passive disposition, he would have been likely to avoid violent confrontation.

Quote: Police need your help in finding out who committed such a brutal crime, against such a peaceful man. Speaking about their hopes of a conviction, Wafa said "It won’t bring him back, but it will make a difference. That justice will be served. That's what Abdelsalam was working on his whole life. That justice will be served." A £20,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to a successful conviction on the murder of Abdel Salam Hassan Abdel Salam.

Quote: Appeal points • The last time anyone spoke to Abdel Salam was in the evening of Friday 12th March 2010. His murder would have taken place sometime between then and 0710 on 13th March. Did you see or hear anything unusual in the area at this time? • Did you see Abdelsalam on the night in question? Did he mention where he was going that evening? Did he seem anxious or afraid? • Do you know someone who was angry with Abdel Salam? Did anyone confide in you about hurting him? • Could this have been a mistaken identity? Do you know anyone that was visiting Boone Street with malicious intent on the night in question?

Quote: Campaigner on human rights ‘stabbed to death for his political views’ Benedict Moore-Bridger and Justin Davenport 16.03.10 Friends of a human rights campaigner found murdered in his London home fear he may have been the victim of a political killing. Abdelsalam Hassan Abdelsalam, 56, who helped torture victims in Sudan, was found slumped in the hall of his Lewisham flat by a neighbour. He had been slashed across the face and stabbed in the leg, bleeding to death from a severed artery. Described as a “guiding light” of Sudan's human rights movement, he worked as a lawyer in his home country and was briefly imprisoned until moving to Britain in 1989 following the coup that brought the present government to power. Detectives today appealed for information about the killing in Boone Street. They say there is no intelligence to suggest the lawyer, who was last seen at 2pm on Friday, was targeted for his politics but could not rule out the possibility. Mr Abdelsalam also worked for charities Human Rights Watch and Justice Africa, before joining international human rights organisation Redress as Sudan adviser in October 2007. Colleagues at the London-based organisation today said they feared a possible political motive. Lutz Oette, 43, a project adviser, said: “He was very well known in the field of human rights. Some people think there is a political motive. There have been threats against a number of Sudanese human rights campaigners.” Mr Abdelsalam, who became a British national, was divorced from wife Wafa Hussein, and had a 24-year-old daughter. Ms Hussein said: “Every person who works in this field would be concerned (for their safety). He has always been a devoted defender of social justice and freedom.” Detective Chief Inspector Damian Allain, leading the inquiry, said: “We have a number of lines of inquiry and we believe it is linked locally.” Police are examining two burglaries at Mr Abdelsalam's home. Anyone with information is asked to call 020 8721 4805 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
