telling me whether it is you who wanted to stab or not this is a lesson for you to learn so you won't do anything similar in the future. What happened is not something that only happened to me, this is an Israeli policy to punish people and stop them from resisting. I used to hear people's voices in the military camp where I was being tortured as well, I wasn't alone. When they used to move me from sitting on the concrete piece, they used to put me in a small cell where I couldn't even stand, and then while sitting in this cell they used to throw cold water on me every ten minutes. The military camp was really cold, they used to give me only one small piece of cake every day and when I took a shower the water was mixed with salt which made the burns even worse. I stayed in that camp for twelve days. I still suffer from the torture I experienced. My wife suffers from it too. I can't sleep at night, most of the times I get cramps and I feel that I'm dying. I start hitting the walls with my hands and I can’t remember most of what I do and say. I even asked my wife to move away from me whenever she sees me in this condition because we don’t know exactly what might happen. People around me told me that when I lose control and start hitting things around me I scream things like ''don’t put out the cigarette'' so I think I relive the torture I experienced and this is why I lose control and don't remember what I do or say. I know this is all influencing my relationship with my wife and family and I'm also trying to limit it as much as I can, I even try to joke about it and try not to think about it at all. My relationship with society has also changed. Now I think of every step I make before I make it, so as not to go back to the Israeli prison. I even stopped going to visit people, I don’t even go to my in-laws and when I do I only stay for a few minutes and then just go back home. At night, even if I hear people yelling or I hear shootings or anything I don’t leave my home. People know me really well in the area, my home was always open, if anyone got injured by the soldiers they used to come to me, but now I refuse all of this. What made me change isn’t that I have a family now; it's the torture I experienced. If I was single now I would just leave Palestine, but I can't, I have a wife who is expecting any time now. One time, after I got released from prison, I smuggled myself out of the country, I went through Israel to Jordan and then to Turkey. I stayed in Turkey for more than three years and when I got back to Palestine I had money with me and a Turkish passport, but now the passport is in the drawer, there is no use for it.” Former prisoner and victim of torture, Nablus Interview: 24 November 2016 Current regulations on the use of these interrogation methods by ISA interrogators were laid down by Israel’s High Court of Justice (HCJ) in 1999. They declared that these interrogators were authorized to use physical methods in interrogation only if they are “fair and reasonable.”219 However, 219 Israel High Court of Justice, The Public Committee Against Torture in Israel et al., v The State of Israel et al., HCJ 5100/94, Judgment of 6 September 1999 60
