Yassine Ferchichi is a Tunisian national who fled persecution from his country of origin. He was arrested and sentenced in France on terrorism charges. His conviction was largely based on statements made by M’hamed Benyamina under torture in Algerian custody. In 2009, Yassine Ferchichi was deported to Senegal in opposition with a decision of the European Court of Human Rights. Since then, he has been living homeless without any legal document.

On 14 December 2003, an attempt was made to murder the Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf.  The attackers had placed explosives under a bridge. The bomb was meant to explode on the passage of Musharraf’s car, however, the bomb could not be activated on time and the explosion did not take its victim. Pakistani military tribunals tried nearly two dozen people (Army members, Air force members and civilians) in separate trials. Mushtaq Ahmed, a civilian, was sentenced to death after having been denied basic due process rights.
