Injured Palestinian girl in Israeli jail launches cry for help

/in /by

Injured Palestinian detainee Shuruq Salah Dwiyat said the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) shot her twice in the chest and hand on allegations that she attempted to stab an Israeli settler.

Lawyer Hanan al-Khatib, from the prisoners’ committee, quoted 17-year-old Shuruq Dwiyat as stating that the occupation officers cordoned her off and left her bleeding on the ground for about half an hour before they transferred her to the Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital, where she had been held for four days and underwent a medical surgery.

Prisoner Shuruq Dwiyat, a native of Occupied Jerusalem city, was shot and injured by the IOF on October 11, 2015. She was arrested shortly afterwards.

Shuruq is currently held in the Hasharon Women’s hospital, handcuffed and tied to the bed.

The detainee further spoke out against the mistreatment and harsh offenses she has been subjected to at the hands of the Israeli officers.

“On my last day at the hospital I was transferred on a wheelchair to al-Mascoubiya detention center, where I had been made to endure four hours of exhausting interrogation.”

“Right after the investigation the occupation officers took away the wheelchair. I was left on my own, struggling to stand on my feet and walk. I couldn’t endure the pains inflicted by the surgery I’d just undergone,” she added.

“Shortly after, I fell over. The Israeli soldiers sneered at me because of my inability to walk on my own,” she said.

The injured inmate spoke out against the tiring eight-hour-long inter-prison transfer she had been through right after the surgery, referring to the nauseating stinks, psycho-physical torture, and medical neglect she has been subjected to.

The Israeli occupation authorities further slapped visit bans on prisoner Shuruq Dwiyat, denying her the right to see her parents even for short whiles.

At least four female Palestinian detainees are being currently treated in Israeli hospitals after they were shot and injured by Israeli bullet fire.

They have been identified as: Israa Abed, Israa Ja’abis, Marah Bakeer, and Istabraq Nour.

Germany: MKO plot to attack pro-Assad protesters foiled by police

/in /by

Riot police had their hands full as dozens of anti-Assad activists tried to break through police lines to attack the pro-Assad gathering, among them many women and children, at Berlin’s famous Brandenburg Gate.

The anti-Assad activists were earlier whisked away by a handful of Munafeqins from a nearby anti-Assad rally at the Russian embassy.

Several Munafeqins could be overheard telling the mostly young anti-Assad activists to either attack or secretly infiltrate the pro-Assad rally to film or make photos of the gathering.

Police detained at least two people from within the MKO rally who managed to cross the other side of the street to infiltrate the pro-Assad rally.

The MKO rally was not linked to the Syrian issue but to the recent attack on the Baghdad-based Camp Liberty.
