Tel Aviv, February 21 RHC)-- The Gaza pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya has been seen in video footage for the first time since his abduction by Israeli forces outside the besieged and devastated Kamal Adwan Hospital last December, where he served as director.
Video broadcast on Israeli TV appears to show Dr. Abu Safiya being led by masked and helmeted guards through a prison in shackles, appearing exhausted and fatigued.
In a statement, Dr. Abu Safiya’s family condemned the broadcast, writing: “We … reject any media outlet publishing the video without addressing the psychological terrorism involved and exposing the manipulation of his statements. The sight of our father shackled and unable to move should prompt immediate and continuous action to ensure his immediate release.”
