JUST IN:
US Senator Chris Van Hollen is demanding the release of 16-year-old American child Mohammed Ibrahim, kidnapped by Israeli occupation forces at age 15 and held 9 months without trial.
➤ Ibrahim has been denied family contact, his health is worsening, and he says he falsely confessed after being brutally beaten.
➤ He was taken from his West Bank home in a February night raid and accused of throwing a rock at a settler’s car, a charge he denies, and is held at the notorious Ofer military prison.
➤ He’s been starved to the point of losing one-quarter of his body weight, kept in a cold, filthy cell with insects and sewage smell, no proper clothes, no soap, and allowed only 10 minutes a day in a small concrete yard.
➤ Van Hollen urged US officials to “protect American citizens” and secure Ibrahim’s release.
➤ Thousands of Palestinian hostages, including children, women, doctors like Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, journalists, elders, and disabled people, face torture, starvation, and abuse in Israeli prisons and camps like Sde Teiman, known as the “Israeli Guantanamo.”
➤ Many are held without charges under “administrative detention,” while many Gazans are labeled “unlawful warriors.”
