Palestinian in leaked Sde Teiman photo speaks out

“There’s sexual punishment, greater punishments, greater beatings.”

Ibrahim Salem, the man in the famous photo standing by the barbed wire fence of the Israeli Sde Teiman detention camp with his arms behind his head, was released last week after nearly eight months in detention.

Salem was one of thousands of Palestinian prisoners held without charge at the notorious army base, where torture was routine. He told Middle East Eye that the photo, first published by CNN, was just the tip of the iceberg of his horrific experience in detention, which included rape, electrocution and frequent beatings.

This is Salem’s account of what he endured during his time in Israeli prisons.

This is the behavior that got defended and a standing ovation at congress.

Absolutely disgusting.

[bumblebum]

And the US spokesperson will say, "this torture is unacceptable and we have asked Israel to investigate themselves.."

[ronniesal]

It is so hard to condemn people for armed resistance when you hear things like this! Every normal human being would at least want revenge!

[KateBateszabu]

Outrageous. I wish this man best health and spirits. Free Palestine

[daniellesomerfield]

Shameful, thanks for revealing the truth.

[someone-lncf]

And the world is silent. So sad. Free Palestine!!!

Imagine the outrage in the West if Israeli prisoners were subjected to the same treatment they dish out to Palestinian prisoners.

[Celisarei]

And we’re supposed to agree that this kind of nation has a right to exist??

[criostoirodriscoll]

He wasn't a prisoner. He was a hostage kidnapped by invading terrorists. He wasn't in prison. He was in a torture and sexual assault centre

[lilyofthvally]

It is the duty of all decent people to end occupation and free Palestine. NEVER STOP BOYCOTTING
