Hidden Video Camera: ’’Israeli’’ Soldiers Abusing Cuffed, Blindfolded Palestinian

A new video showing "Israeli" soldiers abusing a cuffed and blindfolded Palestinian detainee was released after being shot by a hidden camera in Ni'lin village, near the central West Bank city of Ramallah.

The cuffed Palestinian is seen on the ground while the soldiers are just moving him around, dragging his feet sometimes, and placing him in a sitting position against a wall next to another blindfolded and cuffed Palestinian.

It also shows the one of the soldiers standing next to him with his foot raised close to the head of the youth, posing as if he is going to crush his head while filming the abuse using what seems to be his mobile phone.

In many other incidents, soldiers were caught on tape abusing Palestinians, similar to the case of Ashraf Abu Rahma who was kidnapped in 2008, during a nonviolent protest against the Wall in Bil'in village, near Ramallah, and one soldier had him stand near the military jeep while another soldier shot him in the leg at a close range.

Several soldiers even posted on Facebook videos they took of themselves or fellow soldiers while abusing Palestinians in the occupied territories. 

Also, according to the Ni'lin solidarity website, on Firday the 24th of February 2012, a 25 years old Palestinian, Tal'at Ramiya, got killed by the "Israeli" occupation forces today at qalandya border during a demonstration against the invasion to al-Aqsa mosque. He was shot with a live bullet in the chest and died after few hours from getting shot; his funeral will be held Today, Saturday.
