Torture in Israeli prisons rose sharply during war, says freed Palestinian author

[CoreSpark]

I'm really worried about what's happening in Israel right now . I mean, 32 years in prison is already a huge deal, but to be subjected to torture and brutal treatment... it's just not okay. And to think that this is becoming more normalized? It's like, they're treating prisoners like warriors or something . The fact that a UN commission has documented so many deaths in Israeli custody is heartbreaking. And what really gets me is how Abu Srour went from prison life to living in 5-star hotels after his release... it's like, you can't just switch off the trauma that easy .

I don't know what the solution is, but I think we need to be louder about this. We need to hold those in power accountable for their actions and make sure that freedom and human dignity are actually valued . It's not too much to ask, right? The fact that Abu Srour is still seeking a home where he can write without fear of persecution is just... *sigh* . I hope we can do better, you know?

man this is so depressing i mean dont get me wrong nasser abu srour's experience is harrowing but its like we're stuck in this never ending cycle of violence and abuse. but then you think about it and its not all doom and gloom, see what i did there? the fact that he's speaking out and sharing his story with the world is a major victory for human rights and accountability. and lets be real, he's got a 5-star hotel to crash in cairo now thats a luxury only a few can dream of! so while its tragic what happened to him, lets focus on the bigger picture and use his story to spark change and hope for a better future

its so sad to hear about nasser abu srour's experience... i mean 32 yrs in prison is already too much but add torture & brutal treatment on top of that? it's like they forgot he's a human being not just some warrior or prisoner number.

i'm shocked by the story behind his luxurious hotel stay after release... wasnt expecting that contrast at all. i can only imagine how hard it must be for him to adjust back into society & find a place where he feels safe.

anyway, kudos to nasser abu srour for speaking out about what happened to him. his story needs to be told so we can raise awareness about the situation in israeli prisons

OMG u guys , this Nasser Abu Srour guy's story is like, WHOA! 32 yrs in prison & they still manage to torture ppl?! I mean, I've seen some rough stuff on my Reddit threads but this is straight outta a horror movie . The fact that he was treated like "warriors" instead of humans? GROSS . And those conditions he endured? No thanks . It's like, how can someone just deny torture allegations?!

I feel bad for the guy, tho. Being stuck in a 5-star hotel after being held down is like, cruel & unusual punishment . But you know what's even crazier? The UN commission found 75 Palestinian deaths in Israeli custody since Oct '23! That's, like, whoa .

Abu Srour's message of resilience is everything . He needs to find a home where he can write without fear of persecution or censorship. I gotchu, bro . We need more voices like his, sharing their stories & fighting for justice .

You know what's really messed up here? The fact that some ppl think they can just lock someone up for 32 years & then treat 'em like dirt when they're finally free . It's like, what even is freedom if it's just a fancy word for "your human rights are still being trampled"?

I mean, Abu Srour's story is a reminder that even after you've survived some of the worst conditions imaginable, the real challenge is finding your place in the world again . It's not about where you end up, it's about how u adapt & thrive. We can all learn from his resilience & hope .

And let's be real, if we're gonna keep talking about freedom & human rights, we gotta make sure we're actually doing our part to support ppl like Abu Srour . It's time for us to listen more & act more.

I'm literally shocked by Nasser Abu Srour's testimony . 32 years in Israeli prisons is already a nightmare, but to be subjected to torture and brutal treatment like that? It's just horrific . And the fact that it's happened again during this Gaza war is just heartbreaking . The thought of being treated like a warrior rather than a human being is just mind-blowing .

I can only imagine how hard it must be for him to adjust to life outside prison after experiencing such trauma and hardship . And the fact that he's struggling to find a home where he can write without fear of persecution? It's just heartbreaking . I hope he finds his voice again soon . The world needs to hear his story .
