A newly released testimony from detained Palestinian journalist Farah Abu Ayash reveals severe mistreatment during her arrest and interrogation. According to her lawyer, who visited her in Damon Prison, Farah described being subjected to physical and psychological abuse and pressured to hand over her phone password, while authorities attempted to undermine her journalistic work. She recounted being tightly restrained, beaten by guards, dragged during transfers, and held in cold, dark, insect-infested cells. Farah also reported verbal humiliation and intimidation throughout the interrogation process. Farah expressed disappointment over the limited media attention to her case, saying she was detained solely for her work as a journalist. She sent emotional messages to her family, asking for prayers ahead of her upcoming court session and expressing hope to reunite with them soon.
