'Umar Masa’ad Buhayri, an Austrian resident, is being held in incommunicado detention at an undisclosed location in Jordan. He was arrested on 12 January and has not been seen or heard from since. Amnesty International fears that he may be held at one of the General Intelligence Detention (GID) centres where detainees are at risk of torture and ill-treatment.
