Al-Khalil, Aug 16, IRNA – A Palestinian family from the West Bank town of al-Khalil has accused the Israeli authorities of indulging in ‘‘sinister and Nazi-like behaviors’’ by forcing their son to swallow a chemical substance that causes impotence and complete hair-loss.
The family of Zuhair Eskafi, 28, complained that Israeli policemen and interrogators had forced their son to swallow certain tablets that cause his head and facial hair to disappear.
The family asserted that their son was in perfect health when he was arrested by the Zionist army a few months ago.
Some Palestinian doctors believed that tablets in question were anti-cancerous agents.
The family said the criminal act was perpetrated in the month of April this year at the notorious Nafha prison.
Interestingly, a similar case was reported by a Palestinian lady in May and the victim in this case was a young Palestinian woman detained in an Israel jail in connection with alleged anti-occupation activities.
Her family appealed to the world public opinion, the Red Cross, and all human rights groups to condemn and stop the sinister Israeli practices which are in violation of the Geneva Convention and international humanitarian law.
The Red Cross office in Hebron, which had been informed of the two cases, refused to give any information on the present health conditions of the two Palestinian prisoners.
Israel officially sanctions physical and psychological torture against political detainees.
The torture methods used in Israel include beating, sleep deprivation, solitary confinement, threats of murder and food deprivation.
