This is the same client in your video?
💭 Israeli Lawyer Ben Marmarelli:
It’s my only client.
💭 Samira Mohyeddin:
So that same client is being brutalized in the way you described every time you go to see him?
💭 Israeli Lawyer Ben Marmarelli:
Yes. And I want to say something about the rape. Everyone talks to me about the rape like it’s the big issue. The rape is not the big issue. The rape is the least of his problems.
The issue is the conditions of the prisoners and the rape is just one of the many pieces of the puzzle which is Israel torturing the Palestinian prisoners. The sodomy is just what it it happens once in a while for five minutes… He showed me boot marks on his back, the deep red line on his wrists where the handcuffs cut circulation, bruises all over his body.
The rape happens once every few weeks — and I now understand it happens especially when I come to visit him. Palestinian political prisoners don’t get any visits for years. Their only connection to the outside world is a lawyer’s visit.
It’s gotten to the point where he asks me not to come anymore because every time I come, they rape him.
i love how none of this has happened but mfs on this website just live in an alternative reality that fries them off of negatively framed clips they saw. we are never getting healthcare man.
