Lawyer alleges Gaza doctor was severely beaten in Israeli detention
BBC World1 min read103 words
A lawyer representing Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya told the BBC that his client was so severely beaten that he could not recognise himself during a visit last week. The statement, made to the broadcaster on the condition of anonymity, described the extent of the injuries as leaving the doctor disoriented and unable to identify his own reflection.
The lawyer’s remarks raise concerns about the treatment of Dr. Abu Safiya while in custody, though authorities have not provided comment on the allegations. The case remains under investigation, and human‑rights groups have called for an independent medical examination to verify the condition of the detainee.
