从拷打的胜利： 约翰Pilger在Mohammed Omer的治疗由以色列
星期三， 2008年7月2日
由 约翰Pilger | 二个星期前，我提出了年轻巴勒斯坦人， Mohammed Omer，与2008年马莎Gellhorn奖为新闻事业。 授予以记念了不起的美国随军记者，奖去暴露创立宣传的新闻工作者，或者“正式drivel”， Gellhorn叫它。 Mohammed分享奖？5,000与Dahr Jamail。 在24，他是最年轻的优胜者。 他的引证读： “每天，他从战区报告，他也是囚犯。 他的家园， Gaza，被围拢，挨饿，攻击，忘记了。 他是一个深刻地人道证人到其中一我们的时间伟大的不公道。 他是声音无声”。 最老八， Mohammed看见了大多他的兄弟姐妹被杀死或受伤或者被残废。 An Israeli bulldozer crushed his home while the family were inside, seriously injuring his mother. 仍然， Wijenberg说一位前荷兰大使， 1月， “他是减轻的声音，敦促巴勒斯坦青年时期不求婚仇恨，但是寻找和平与以色列”。 有Mohammed伦敦接受他的奖是主要外交操作。 以色列不诚实掌握Gaza的边界，并且与荷兰使馆伴游仅是他准许。 最后星期四，在他的往返旅行，他遇见了在Allenby桥梁横穿(到乔丹)由荷兰官员，在以色列大厦之外等待，未察觉的Mohammed被占领了走路赌注，以色列的臭名昭著的安全组织。 Mohammed被告诉关闭他的机动性和去除电池。 他问他是否可能叫他的使馆伴游和强有力地告诉了他不可能。 一个人站立了在他的行李，采摘通过他的文件。 “是金钱的地方？” 他要求了。 Mohammed导致了一些美元。 “是英国磅的地方您有？” “我体会”， Mohammed说， “他是在奖俸给以后为马莎Gellhorn奖。 我告诉了他我没有它与我。 `您说谎’，他说。 我由八现在围拢走路赌注官员，所有武装。 人叫Avi预定我脱下我的衣裳。 I had already been through an x-ray machine. I stripped down to my underwear and was told to take off everything. When I refused, Avi put his hand on his gun. I began to cry: ‘Why are you treating me this way? I am a human being.’ He said, ‘This is nothing compared with what you will see now.’ He took his gun out, pressing it to my head and with his full body weight pinning me on my side, he forcibly removed my underwear. He then made me do a concocted sort of dance. Another man, who was laughing, said, ‘Why are you bringing perfumes?’ I replied, ‘They are gifts for the people I love’. He said, ‘Oh, do you have love in your culture?’ “As they ridiculed me, they took delight most in mocking letters I had received from readers in England. I had now been without food and water and the toilet for 12 hours, and having been made to stand, my legs buckled. I vomited and passed out. All I remember is one of them gouging, scraping and clawing with his nails at the tender flesh beneath my eyes. He scooped my head and dug his fingers in near the auditory nerves between my head and eardrum. The pain became sharper as he dug in two fingers at a time. Another man had his combat boot on my neck, pressing into the hard floor. I lay there for over an hour. The room became a menagerie of pain, sound and terror.” An ambulance was called and told to take Mohammed to a hospital, but only after he had signed a statement indemnifying the Israelis from his suffering in their custody. The Palestinian medic refused, courageously, and said he would contact the Dutch embassy escort. Alarmed, the Israelis let the ambulance go. The Israeli response has been the familiar line that Mohammed was “suspected” of smuggling and “lost his balance” during a “fair” interrogation, Reuters reported yesterday. Israeli human rights groups have documented the routine torture of Palestinians by Shin Bet agents with “beatings, painful binding, back bending, body stretching and prolonged sleep deprivation”. Amnesty has long reported the widespread use of torture by Israel, whose victims emerge as mere shadows of their former selves. Some never return. Israel is high in an international league table for its murder of journalists, especially Palestinian journalists, who receive barely a fraction of the kind of coverage given to the BBC’s Alan Johnston. The Dutch government says it is shocked by Mohammed Omer’s treatment. The former ambassador Jan Wijenberg said: “This is by no means an isolated incident, but part of a long-term strategy to demolish Palestinian social, economic and cultural life … I am aware of the possibility that Mohammed Omer might be murdered by Israeli snipers or bomb attack in the near future.” While Mohammed was receiving his prize in London, the new Israeli ambassador to Britain, Ron Proser, was publicly complaining that many Britons no longer appreciated the uniqueness of Israel’s democracy. Perhaps they do now. Have Your Say: From triumph to torture: John Pilger on Mohammed Omer’s treatment by Israel Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
