MAP Alert: Thank CBC for article about torture and abuse of Palestinians in torture centers

Comments of the CJPME Media Researcher:
(Note: Please do not copy and paste the material below as the content to your message to the media - put all comments in your own words):
Please show your appreciation to CBC and its journalists Yasmine Hassan and Mohamed El Saife for article about Ibrahim Salem, the Palestinian man whose picture in the Sde Teiman torture center leaked on CNN, and his testimony about the torture he was subjected to. It is the more important to show some appreciation for this article as it will almost certainly stir a backlash from pro-Israel groups. Yasmine Hassan has been frequently targeted by Honest Reporting Canada for her critical reporting on Israeli human rights abuses.

  • While a lot of human rights groups released reports on the torture of Palestinians in Israeli detention centers, it is great that CBC finally decided to cover and report on it by giving voice to Ibrahim Saleh, a Palestinian man who was tortured in the Sde Teiman torture center.
  • The article mentions that Palestinians are held in administrative detention at Sde Teiman.
  • The article mentions the viral CCTV video that showed Israeli soldiers gang-raping a Palestinian man in the Sde Teiman torture camp.
  • The article mentions and links the B’Tselem report which concluded that Israel is committing systemic abuse and torture, including sexual violence, against Palestinians in the camps.
