Thank you, Khalid, for following the story of Mohammed's experience at the hands of Shabak. Anyone who knows this gentle young man must be outraged at the claim of Shin Bet that "he fell and hurt his head."

Israel's abuse of journalists and human rights watchers must be condemned by all who value freedom.

This sound like Northern Ireland in the 1960 though the 80's

Thanks for this illuminating interview Khalid.

I hope you and M. Omer will continue to expose how this incident of brutality is the status quo for many Palestinians in the occupied territories.

“The methods and photos from Abu Grahib and Guantanamo were no shock to any Palestinian who had been in prison between 1967 and the ‘80’s. All the methods used in Abu Grahib were normal procedures against Palestinians. In 1999 Internationals, Palestinians and Israelis for human rights threatened a boycott against Israel and that is what forced the Supreme Court to address the torture issue. They did not ban torture and the General Prosecutor can choose not to prosecute those who still use it." -Ala Jaradat of ADDAMEER, Ramallah, Jan. 5, 2006.

God willing, M. Omer's treatment could be another good reason for BDS.
