The lawyer of Detainees and Ex-detainees Committee Karim Ajwa said that the Palestinian prisoner Islam Abu Hamid 32 of al-Amari refugee camp in Ramalah has been subjected to a harsh assault and torture including humiliation at the hands of Israeli investigators in al-Maskobiya detention center.
The committee on Wednesday quoted the Palestinian captive as affirming that Israeli forces blindfolded his eyes tied his hands and deprived him of sleep amid cursing and threatening in order to force him confess the charge brought against him.
Israeli forces arrested Abu Hamid two weeks ago and accused him of killing an Israeli soldier during the Israeli occupation raid on al-Amari refugee camp.
Prisoner Abu Hamid has four brothers who are sentenced to life imprisonment in Israeli prisons in addition to a fifth martyr brother who was killed by Israeli forces.
