Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade
Amnesty International Annual Report 2014
10:00 am
Mr. Colm O'Gorman:
Our only concern is the well-being of Ibrahim Halawa. I just want to make that very clear. I do not think it serves our efforts or those of anyone else in respect of this matter to seek to suggest that there is a conflict or to create one between the NGOs that are working to secure his release. As director of Amnesty International Ireland, all I can do when the committee asks us to give our view of the case is to do just that and also to provide our legal analysis and opinion on it. We are not a court. We cannot make a ruling that someone has been subjected to torture.
