Inside Israel's secret prison
|
Detainees are blindfolded and kept in blackened cells, never told where they are, brutally interrogated and allowed no visitors of any kind. Dubbed 'the Israeli Guantanamo,' it's no wonder facility 1391 officially does not exist.
Some of the people who were interviewed for this article dubbed the camp "the Israeli Guantanamo."
There are in fact certain points of resemblance between the American detention camp in Cuba and the Israeli site, mainly in relation to the legal questions that hover over them and the gnawing doubt about whether they are consistent with the values of democracy
What really surrounds Camp 1391, more than physical protection, is an entrenched wall of silence
Israeli authorities have made every effort to keep its very existence secret
Were they tried before being locked up in Camp 1391, or are they awaiting trial?
1391 site is the only detention facility whose detainees don't know where they are
"outside the borders of Israel."
