Al-Saai had heard accounts of abuse in Israeli jails before his arrest in February 2024, but nothing, he said, prepared him for what followed. After a brief medical examination, a doctor turned to the guards. “Everything is fine. Take him,” he said, al-Saai recalled. Al-Saai was dragged into a separate room where, for nearly an hour, he said he was kicked, stamped on, insulted and raped with an object while blindfolded. Israeli guards watched, laughed and, al-Saai believes, may have filmed the assault. Support stories that matter.
