This Palestinian man was just released from Israeli jail, but this is not his 'before' photo

A video recently went viral showing 29-year-old Palestinian man Badr Dahlan released after spending 30 days in an Israeli prison. Visibly distressed and traumatised in the video, he spoke of harsh conditions in detention and of being beaten by Israeli forces. Misleading photomontages quickly circulated online claiming to show his "before and after" images. But the "before" image is of a different Palestinian man entirely. Vedika Bahl explains in this edition of Truth or Fake.

Well... the torture in Israeli prison is not fake then. So what's your point.

Who cares about a before photo. We care about the after one.

[franny]

Y'all should be ashamed. It doesn't matter what he looked like before. Unless he looked like a cracked out psyche patient, the man was clearly terrorized.

[auliyaahmad]

France has rights to defend its ignorance

[lawrencelibby]

"Extremely misleading". France 24, you should be ashamed of yourself for this.

[Beetir]

He looks so traumatised. His face shows he has been through a lot...abused, beaten terrorised

Such inhumanity....

[tawsifalam]

I have seen stupid reporting. And then there is this channel being above stupid. Trying to cover up war crimes by saying we were unable to verify.

[arifmahmudarf]

You do not talk about the torture he has gone through, the wounds, his trauma, his health conditions but you try to change the people's focus by claiming he was not the previous person.Your immorality and hypocrisy is crystal clear.

[Slolo-sh]

what is the point of this stupid report again

[Rustiq]

Instead of condemning the torture he endured...😢

[jbjama]

9300 person in Israeli prisons without trial

[reubenmkama]

That man looks like he was kept in Hell definitely…

[ॐIo]

PTSD.

You can find Badr's photo from before

[nyaakewebo]

Let me get this. The man just released was indeed tortured by Israel. The man in the other photo was killed by Israel. So Israel, in both cases, committed war crimes. But you spend your efforts to say they committed war crimes against two people, not one. Smh.

[KamrunNahar-yodc]

Here we can see the actual propaganda ...shame shame ...

[mariannebarnard]

You can see the terribble trauma and stress and fear in his eyes and on his face.

[fauwuzan]

We don't gaf about before photo, what about the after? Y'all gonna say israel has the right to do it just because the before photo was fake?

[Erol_]

So what is France24 saying here, that his treatment in prison is okay because the before picture wasn't him???

[everydayfootball]

always france is defending israel this guy was torured by israel

[rociorosariolimonavila]

This is ridiculous.
So... "This is not the before photo BECAUSE this man was actually already killed."
Please!!! Have some dignity. Shame on this woman.
