Detainee Mamun Nassar has affirmed that he was severely beaten during his arrest a couple of days earlier at the hands of Israeli occupation forces and Jewish settlers.
Nassar, 40, told the lawyer of the Palestinian Prisoners' Society who visited him in Hawara detention center near Nablus that the soldiers and settlers used their machineguns in beating him.
He said that he could not walk alone even to the bathroom unless his roommates helped him.
Nassar, from Madma village to the south of Nablus, said that the interrogators accused him of attacking soldiers and settlers, which he vehemently denied, adding that he would appear in court on Friday to extend his remand.
He said that the soldiers would not treat his wounds after his arrest and in custody and in return he refused his meals to protest his torture. He added that the prison administration only gave him sedatives.
