A captive at Israel’s Ofer Prison in the occupied West Bank told Sky News how Israeli forces left Dr Al-Bursh, who had been severely tortured, to die alone in agonising pain and naked from the waist down in the prison’s yard.
After Dr Al-Bursh left he hospital, Israeli soldiers “called his name out” and then “roughly” took him away, according to Obeid.
Dr Al-Bursh was then taken to the notorious Sde Teiman detention facility in the Negev, which whistleblowers and former inmates have likened to a concentration camp.
Reports of physical, mental, and sexual abuse are widespread at Sde Teiman, with instances of rape so severe that prisoners have been died and seriously injured… Dr Khalid Hamouda, a former inmate of the Sde Teiman camp, told Sky News that many of the prisoners held there were medical professionals.
“He thought he may have broken ribs,” Dr Hamouda said. “He was unable to even go to the toilet alone.”
It was after this that Dr. Al-Bursh was sent to Ofer Prison where he would die within weeks.
i’m so sorry to the people of lemmy who earlier said this was a genocide and whom i second-guessed
it’s just blatant what it is at this point
i am poor, but is there any organization i can donate to a small token amount to show my support? I feel bad for doing nothing, I’m like the people in America who watched Hitler do horrible things in Europe and shrugged. There’s not much I can do, and I don’t have the stomach nor good character for a self-immolation protest, but I should do something. is there anything to do?
Absolutely, there are a few
