PA libel: Palestinian prisoners are "tortured by various methods, using tools of oppression imported from America"

Op-ed by PA Minister of Prisoners’ Affairs, Issa Karake

“There is a murderer behind the barbed wire and walls of the interrogation centers, who barbarically tortured prisoner Arafat Jaradat until he died a Martyr(Shahid). There is a murderer, not a third Intifada. There is an official crime committed by the Israeli government against prisoner Jaradat, whose body was stained by the marks of torture and beatings, and whose soul departed in the cold darkness of the interrogation centers…

There is a murderer – not a third Intifada – who placed the prisoner in narrow, airless and sunless cells, depriving him of sleep and nourishment, threatening him and beating him unceasingly. There are no lawyer orRed Cross visits. The prisoners suffocate in the interrogation centers and are tortured by various methods, using tools of oppression imported from America.”
