Palestinian Loses Sight after Being Tortured by Hamas
(IMEMC-PA) Mohammed Deeb Salim Safi, 28, lost sight in both eyes after being tortured in a Hamas Internal Security detention center in Gaza after he participated in popular demonstrations in March. Safi told a fieldworker from the Palestinian Center for Human Rights: "On 19 March 2019, I went to the Internal Security office after being summoned by them....I was then detained in a 3x2-meter 'Square Toilet,' which smelled very bad and was full of insects." He was then beaten and interrogated. "On Thursday, 21 March, I felt pain in my eyes and told them so, but they ignored my complaint. One of them then hit me on the face and back of my head several times and said, 'So that you will not see at all.'"
