A Palestinian man who was imprisoned for 52 days in Israel’s notorious Sde Teiman Detention Center, which has been plagued by allegations of abuse, spoke to Al Jazeera about his time in the facility.
“I was tortured 13 times a day during those 32 days,” said the former prisoner, Ibrahim Atef Salem. “There was no mercy, no compassion at all.”
Torture methods included the use of an “electric chair” and frequent beatings, he said, adding that intelligence services interrogated him “constantly”.
Unsanitary prison conditions also led to the spread of scabies and lice, he said, with some prisoners suffering so badly that they could not even sit down.
