Tortured as a Child in the Israeli Prison System: One Man’s Personal Account
”Before I went to prison I was not afraid of anything, but after – I feel like something in me has died.” These are the words of Muayad, who was taken from his home in the Azeh refugee camp in Bethlehem by Israeli soldiers just a few days after he turned 16 years old in 2008. Muayad, who is now 22, spent more than a year and a half in an Israeli prison.
Describing the details of his arrest, Muayad recounts the moment they blindfolded him on his doorstep: “After shackling me with tight plastic handcuffs, they blindfolded me and then ordered me to sit while hitting me on the legs and throwing me on the floor. After searching our house a soldier who grabbed me kept hitting my head with a helmet until we reached the army jeep.
