torture, israel, you see what they do in plain sight so what's recounted here isn't much of a stretch. it seems that the most moral democracy in the mid east is misbehaving;

The two say they were subjected to various torture methods by Israel’s Shin Bet security service for over a month, including being locked in a cabinet for hours and bound to a chair for days without food or bathroom access

Two young Palestinian men, who were ultimately convicted of throwing rocks at police, say they were subjected to torture during more than a month of interrogation by the Shin Bet security service: painfully bound to a chair for full days, placed in solitary confinement, deprived of food and sleep and denied bathroom access.

In the end, each confessed to the rock throwing, and were convicted and sentenced to eight months in prison.

Yazan al-Rajbi is a resident of Jerusalem’s Silwan neighborhood who was still under 21 when he was summoned to Jerusalem’s Russian Compound police station in August of last year. After arriving there, Al-Rajbi – son of Zouheir al-Rajbi, one of the main Silwan activists against Jews moving into the East Jerusalem Palestinian neighborhood – was sent to “Room 4,” the minorities-department investigation room that is notorious among East Jerusalemites. At first, two people who identified themselves as Shin Bet investigators questioned him – one gave the name Nasim and the other called himself Zeev.

Yazan was questioned about an incident during which rocks were thrown at police in the middle of Silwan on July 9. Al-Rajbi told the investigators that he wasn’t in the area that day, and had instead been with a friend in another Jerusalem neighborhood, At-Tur. “They told me, OK. They took all my clothes, gave me prison clothes, put me in a room full of investigators, maybe 12. They sat me down on a chair and began to question me, from five in the evening until four in the afternoon the next day. I told them there were cameras in the place where I was, and that they should go and check. They told me, ‘You’re a liar.’”..........read more.........
