“Israeli” Jailers Starve Palestinian Prisoner to Press Him to Work as Informer

The Palestinian prisoner society said that "Israeli" interrogators in the Ashkelon prison starved a 19-year-old prisoner and told him he would remain without food until he cooperates with them and works as an informer, according to the Palestinian Information Center.

The society said that the interrogators took advantage of the prisoner's illiteracy and forced him to place thumbprints on papers he did not know anything about or what they included.
The society promised it will follow up the issue of this prisoner and file a complaint against the jailers who used starvation as a torture means to pressure him.

In another incident, "Israel's" channel seven said Tuesday that the "Israeli" intelligence apparatus intensified its attempts, following the animated video recently released by the armed wing of Hamas, to obtain information about the whereabouts of soldier Gilad Shalit.

The channel added that the Shabak embarked lately on calling ordinary Palestinian citizens in the Gaza Strip to urge them to report any information about Shalit in exchange for $10,000,000.

Security sources in Gaza had told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that the security apparatuses discovered some limited incidents in which some individuals responded to these calls.
