Context:
They submit that the definition of torture excludes victims who are not formally accused or charged.

Explanation:
There is a subtle difference between the two words ''accused'' or ''charged''
To accuse = to say someone is guilty but without any particular evidence.
To charge = officially say that someone is guilty.
I am interested to know your suggestions for translation choices.

Discussion
For a -charged- suspect, this will depend on the specific country that this concerns mainly due to the differences in criminal judicial procedures between different Arab countries.
It also depends on the crime (prosecution charges vs. investigative judge charges).
If the system is based on prosecutorial charges, you could refer to the suspect as مدعى عليه (since at this point the suspect is a defendant in a criminal case following the filing of the charges).
The qualification may also change if the legal system includes an indictment hearing after charges are filed.
