Will Abbas Be Held Accountable for Heinous crime?
Signs of torture on Barghouthi's legs26 February 2008
Two weeks ago, the Palestinian General Intelligence, also known as Mukhabarat, arrested, reportedly in a brutal manner, eight people from the village of Kober near Ramallah. Among the detainees was the imam of the local mosque, Majd al Barghouthi, 45, and father to eight children. The main charge leveled against him was related to a firearm he allegedly was hiding somewhere. Al-Barghouthi denied that he possessed or knew of any firearm.
For eight successive days, al-Barghouthi was subjected to harsh physical torture, including severe beating, burns, sleep deprivation, and the so-called hooding technique, virtually the same types of torture employed by Israeli domestic intelligence apparatus, the Shin Beth, against Palestinian inmates.
On Wednesday, 20 February, al-Barghouthi lost consciousness and was unceremoniously taken to a hospital in Ramallah. The treating doctor told the Mukhabarat agents that the man was in critical condition and that he needed urgent hospitalization.
However, the Mukhabarat agents didn’t heed the doctor’s advice, and decided to take him back to the torture chamber.
On Friday, 22 February, al Barghouthi died, reportedly during an extended torture session.
According to inmates, who were being held in a neighboring chamber, he cried out for help for several hours to no avail, and then his voice got weaker and weaker, until he died.
Following his death, Mukhabarat officials as well as some PA and Fatah spokespersons switched into the “damage-control mode,” claiming that the man had been ill and that he had had a heart problem.
His family and relatives have vehemently denied that he had had any serious health problems. They insist that their son was simply murdered by the ruthless Mukhabarat apparatus.
A Journalist, named Khalid Amayreh, had the opportunity to observe the body of the victim and can testify that the man had indeed been subjected to extremely savage and beating, strangulation, and administration of electrical burns.
Dozens of physicians, journalists, lawmakers and ordinary people have seen with their own eyes the extent of the torture the victim had undergone.
Will Abbas, be held accountable for such a heinous crime sustained on an innocent man; for no one is above the law when it come‘s to murder.
