Gaza Doctor Detained Without Charge | Global News

A Gaza doctor, Hussam Abu Safiya, claims he was brutally beaten by Israeli prison guards after an appeal hearing, leaving him barely recognizable with severe injuries and no medical care — his lawyer says he’s terrified for his life. Detained for over 18 months without charge, Abu Safiya, former director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, was arrested in December 2024 during an Israeli evacuation. Israel accuses him of Hamas ties, but the Prison Service denies abuse, calling detention lawful. The Israeli Supreme Court has ordered a response to a petition demanding his release along with 13 other detained doctors. Human rights groups and the UN have condemned his detention as arbitrary and part of a broader pattern, calling the situation “truly horrifying.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
