We speak with Human Rights Watch researcher Milena Ansari about the organization’s new report detailing the torture of Palestinian medical workers in Israeli prisons. HRW spoke with eight doctors, paramedics and nurses who were picked up in Gaza before being transferred to the notorious Sde Teiman camp and other facilities, where they say they suffered beatings, starvation, humiliation, electric shocks and other forms of abuse.
The men also describe threats of sexual violence during brutal interrogations and seeing another prisoner bleeding after being gang-raped with an M16 rifle by three soldiers.
The findings track with other reports from researchers and survivors, and HRW has called on the International Criminal Court to investigate Israel for its attacks on healthcare workers. “We’re really ringing the alarm about the situation inside the Israeli custody and detention facilities,” says Ansari, who says evidence is mounting of a “systematic pattern of ill-treatment and abuse.”
Criticise the US government right now or you're a CIA bot.
It'll be quite telling if you don't.
Everytime I'm discussing the Russian-Ukrainian war, I should demand they criticize either Russia or Ukraine (depending on which side)? That would be reasonable?
The invasion of Iraq in 2003 based on the false assumption that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction
systematic discrimination against Black people
… to name just a few.
See, that’s how you criticize your own country when you won’t go to jail for criticizing your own country. No country is 100% perfect. All governments are bastards.
That wasn't about freedom of speech, that was about protesting and getting in a fight with the police. That’s a different situation. And before you get excited and think I’m siding with the police, no I’m not. If this was China, and I criticized them, they would just come into my home and arrest me and my family.
And just to make you happy, you can add that the United States has a bunch of bastards for cops. That should cover all of that stuff that you said
If this was China, and I criticized them, they would just come into my home and arrest me and my family.
No, they wouldn't lmfao. Have you literally ever set foot on the Chinese internet? People are always complaining about something, there are 1.4+ Billion People in China ..they don't have time to arrest everyone who makes criticism and if they did they would definitely have a higher prison population than the US, which they don't despite the population difference (1.69Million/1.4Billion vs 1.8Million/333Million)
And just to make you happy, you can add that the United States has a bunch of bastards for cops.
Let's rewind...
That wasn't about freedom of speech, that was about protesting and getting in a fight with the police. That's a different situation.
Hmm, almost like these bastard cops who are funded and represent the government always show up when a group are seriously critical of the government and create violence as a pretense to arrest them so it's not a different situation...
(Edit: and you did explicitly side with the police by citing their excuse for squashing the protests, you took their side, there is nothing to 'accuse" you of, criticising them in other aspects doesn't change that)
Way to bypass all the substance and go right for "Wumao" or "Bot" allegations huh? Very original.
I do the same thing that 31% of Chinese people who use VPNs do on the American internet. Online tourism.
There are 1.4 Billion people in China, I am interested in their culture and trying (failing) to learn their language, going on their sites is very informative of their culture and views.
