NABLUS, (PIC)-- According to the international Tadhamun (solidarity) foundation for human rights, Israeli investigators physically assaulted prisoner Noureddine Samhan, 20, when questioning him at the Jalama interrogation center.
Ahmed Beitawi, a researcher at the foundation, said Samhan was severely beaten by an Israeli investigator named Meimon, who kicked him several times in the legs and struck him in the chest and stomach. Police also used verbal profanities, ripped his clothes, and spit in his face, all while he was fasting.
Beitawi said the prisoner was bruised on various parts of the body and went into a nervous breakdown during the assault. He signed a confession of all charges against him to save himself from the beatings and insults.
Beitawi described the attack as real and tangible evidence against claims which deny that Palestinian prisoners are beaten during interrogation and questioning, and that they make confessions of their own volition without any pressure or coercion.
Noureddine Samhan, a student at the University of Jerusalem, was arrested by Israeli troops at the Qalqilya checkpoint July, 13 and immediately rushed to the Jalama interrogation center.
