Below is given a description of a few examples of tortures in Israeli prisons:
1) A plastic bag is pulled over the prisoner's head and fixed at the neck.
2) “The Ghost – Seat”: The prisoner sits on a little chair ( ca. 25x25 to 30 cm high)
for a long time – with his hands bound to the back.
3) Withdrawal of sleep and food and playing through day by day very loud music during very strong electric influence of light.
4) “The Cage – Seat”: The prisoner is taken into a very small room where he can neither sit properly nor stand.
5) The prisoners are hit with hard materials on their naked bodies, as is used electric shock treatment.
6) “Shaking”: The prisoner's whole body is shaken so hard that many of them die as a result of this treatment.
7) “Hammock”: The prisoner is tied with a rope at the ceiling - opposite him is another rope with a very hard block, mostly together with other tied bricks – which is also fixed at the ceiling. Then both ropes are swung into each other and are let go off. This is very painful and exhausting – just as much for the psyche as for the body – because the body is unprotected and on the other hand the fear to collide with the stones is so great that some prisoners get a coronary by that.
Israel is the only country in the world which has legalized per law the use of torture and maltreatment during the examination of for political reasons arrested prisoners –
which means that in Israel prisoners are systematically maltreated and tortured during the interrogation.
