This case involved an individual who had been beaten and injured. A key issue was the validity of the evidence which included a medical report.

Background

The office of public prosecution accused a defendant of beating a victim and causing injury to him. The office requested the court to penalise the defendant according to the relevant laws.

The court ruled that the defendant should be imprisoned for five years and that he should pay a fine of 300 Dinars.

The defendant objected to the ruling. The court amended the objected ruling and ruled that the defendant should be imprisoned for three years and he should pay a fine of 300 Dinars.

The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court amended the appealed ruling and ruled that the defendant should be imprisoned for two year and suspended the execution of the ruling for three years on the condition that he paid a guarantee of 300 Dinars.
