Israeli investigators torture Palestinian child prisoner

Lawyer Hiba Masalha revealed that the Israeli investigators are still treating the Palestinian child prisoners in brutal and immoral way, during the arrest and interrogation processes.

Masalha in a news release on Saturday quoted the 16-year-old prisoner Mohammed Abu Riala, from the town of Issawiya in occupied Jerusalem and who has been detained since 13 February 2014 in Hasharon prison, as saying that he has been tortured in Mascobiya interrogation center.

Abu Riala said that during the interrogation he was been handcuffed and blindfolded, while the Israeli investigators continued to hit him in the head and abdomen and threatened to tear out his nails and to cut his tongue with a pincer.

The lawyer added that another minor prisoner Ayham Mofleh, who has been held in Megiddo jail, was moved to the Israeli Afula hospital after he went into hysteria at night, and started suffering shortness of breath.
