[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Prosecutors in Geneva have opened a rape and sexual misconduct investigation against Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan, who has been detained in France since February on separate rape charges, Swiss media reported Sunday.
The Tribune de Geneve newspaper quoted justice ministry spokesman Henri Della Casa as saying that authorities had decided to open a formal criminal inquiry into allegations that Ramadan raped a woman in a Geneva hotel in 2008.
“I confirm the opening of an inquiry,” the paper quoted Della Casa as saying, a key step that indicated the authorities believed the allegations merit further investigation.
The accuser lodged her complaint in April.
“The prosecutors and Geneva police have worked quickly and worked well,” Romain Jordan, the lawyer representing Ramadan’s Swiss accuser, told AFP in an email.
He described the decision to open a criminal inquiry as “a major advance” that “demonstrates the seriousness of the allegations made by our client.”
Ramadan, a Swiss citizen and Oxford University professor whose grandfather founded Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood movement, has not yet been interviewed by Swiss prosecutors.
Jordan said that following the opening of a criminal case, Swiss investigators will now have to travel to France to hear Ramadan’s side of the alleged rape.

[AlMasdar] (12:00 P.M.) – The U.S. and French special forces were recently photographed taking part in the Syrian Democratic Forces’ ongoing offensive in east Deir Ezzor.
The Coalition forces are reportedly providing the SDF with logistical and artillery support, as the latter attempts to capture the last areas occupied by the Islamic State (ISIS) in the Euphrates River Valley.
[AlMasdar] (3:15 P.M.) – The Islamic State (ISIS) said on Saturday that their terrorist combatants foiled another offensive that was launched by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the southeastern countryside of Deir Ezzor.
The Islamic State managed to foil the offensive after the Syrian Democratic Forces reportedly advanced into the key town of Baghouz Fouqani near the Iraqi border.
The terrorist group released photos of their fighters foiling the assault, along with images of several SDF personnel killed around Baghouz Fouqani.
ISIS has now repelled two big attacks by the Syrian Democratic Forces inside the Euphrates River Valley in the past ten days.
[AlMasdar] (3:30 P.M.) – The Syrian forces continue military operations against the Islamic State east of Deir Ezzor province, killing scores of militants and destroying their vehicles.
Army units used heavy missile and artillery shelling against the terror group’s jihadists stationed in the desert west of al-Mayadeen city.
The strikes destroyed and damaged several technical vehicles used by the ultraconservative group, and killed scores of militants.
[AlMasdar] (7:20 P.M.) – The Islamic State (ISIS) has launched a massive counter-offensive in western Deir Ezzor, today, after spending the last few days on the defensive.
ISIS began their assault by storming all of the areas the Syrian Arab Army recently captured during their large-scale offensive early in the week.
According to a military source in Damascus, the Syrian Arab Army was forced to withdraw from several of the recently liberated areas in western Deir Ezzor after the Islamic State broke through their lines this afternoon.
The source said that more than 10 Syrian Army soldiers were killed during the Islamic State’s wide-scale assault, including one officer.
The Islamic State is now working to advance their positions in the Badiya Al-Sham region in a bid to reach the western outskirts of Al-Mayadeen.
[AlMasdar] (10:40 P.M.) – The Islamic State (ISIS) launched a large-scale counter-offensive in the western countryside of Deir Ezzor, today, targeting the areas that were recently liberated by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA).
ISIS was able to overpower the Syrian Arab Army troops at the northeastern and southeastern axes of their Badiya Al-Sham pocket, forcing the latter to fall back towards the key city of Al-Mayadeen.
According to a military source in Damascus, the Syrian Arab Army suffered heavy casualties during the attack, while also losing most of the areas they recently liberated from the Islamic State terrorists.
The source said the original death toll was believed to be between 10-15; however, the death toll has since increased to over 25.
In response to this Islamic State offensive, the Russian and Syrian air forces have begun heavily bombarding the terrorist group’s positions around the Badiya Al-Sham region.
Meanwhile, the Syrian Army is attempting to regroup in order to stop the Islamic State from securing the areas they recaptured on Sunday.
Last Tuesday, the Syrian Arab Army launched a wide-scale operation to clear the Islamic State’s pocket along the east Homs axis.
Prior to the Islamic State’s counter-offensive, the Syrian Arab Army had managed to liberate a large chunk of territory that was occupied by the Islamic State near the T-2 Pumping Station.

[Rudaw] Syrian Democratic Forces entered ISIS-held Baghuz and Hajin in eastern Deir ez-Zor province on Saturday with heavy artillery support from the US-led international coalition.
French forces, as part of the coalition, targeted the enclave with some 70 shells in one hour, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The Observatory reported that three busses and 10 vehicles carrying an unknown number of reinforcements arrived in the area.
