Palestinian Healthcare Workers Chained, Starved, Sexually Abused: New Report
democracynow.org

We speak with Human Rights Watch researcher Milena Ansari about the organization’s new report detailing the torture of Palestinian medical workers in Israeli prisons. HRW spoke with eight doctors, paramedics and nurses who were picked up in Gaza before being transferred to the notorious Sde Teiman camp and other facilities, where they say they suffered beatings, starvation, humiliation, electric shocks and other forms of abuse.

The men also describe threats of sexual violence during brutal interrogations and seeing another prisoner bleeding after being gang-raped with an M16 rifle by three soldiers.

The findings track with other reports from researchers and survivors, and HRW has called on the International Criminal Court to investigate Israel for its attacks on healthcare workers. “We’re really ringing the alarm about the situation inside the Israeli custody and detention facilities,” says Ansari, who says evidence is mounting of a “systematic pattern of ill-treatment and abuse.”

what are you doing on the “Chinese Internet?”

Way to bypass all the substance and go right for "Wumao" or "Bot" allegations huh? Very original.

I do the same thing that 31% of Chinese people who use VPNs do on the American internet. Online tourism.

There are 1.4 Billion people in China, I am interested in their culture and trying (failing) to learn their language, going on their sites is very informative of their culture and views.

Those are your words not mine.

Send me some screenshots. Make sure they have the names of the people and their photographs without having a mask on. Because saying something anonymously, and saying it with your name on it is a lot different.

Way to try and backtrack from

If this was China, and I criticized them, they would just come into my home and arrest me and my family.

So would you be arrested for criticizing China online or not?

I don't see you posting with your name and no mask right now? Why would people post like that in China?

You are making less than no sense.

We are getting off topic.

Please say: The Chinese government is responsible for killing thousands of citizens during the Tiananmen Square massacre.

It’s just a litmus test.
