Facility 1391
Israeli interrogators have been teaching US contractors and Military Personnel torture techniques Israel has long used against Palestinians and other Arabs. The horrifying images exemplifying the hellish conditions detainees were subjected to in Abu Ghraib following the invasion of Iraq are a minor glimpse into the torture and suffering subjected upon prisoners in the secret prison in North Israel known as 'Facility 1391.'
"I was barefoot in my pajamas when they arrested me, and it was really cold," says Sameer Jadala, a Palestinian school bus driver. "When I got to that place, they told me to strip and gave me a blue uniform. Then they gave me a black sack,” for his head. Other former prisoners at Facility 1391 have described how they were stripped naked for interrogation, blindfolded, handcuffed, and threatened with rape.
Haaretz reports that a reserve army colonel from Unit 504, known as “Het,” recounted how one interrogator at the facility “stripped a suspect naked and forced him to drink tea or coffee from an ashtray full of cigarette ashes and then forced shaving cream or toothpaste into the suspect's mouth.” Het recalled another instance in which the interrogator, known as “Major George,” inserted “a baton into a suspect's rectum and asked him to sit on the baton unless the suspect was willing to speak.”
Rather than prosecuting the culprits, Israeli authorities opened a criminal case against Het for revealing the torture taking place at Facility 1391.
