On 25 October 1999 ‘Ali Jabbar ‘Adwan, Sattar Jabbar ‘Adwan, Sa’ad ‘Abdul Ridha Raisan and Laith ‘Adil ‘Ali made a televised confession to the killing of a former government Minister and to being spies for Iran. Amnesty International is concerned that their alleged confessions may have been extracted under duress and may have an impact upon the fairness of their trial.
