Dr. Khaled Alser, a renowned Palestinian surgeon at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, describes how Israeli forces abducted him from Gaza last year before transferring him to Israeli prisons rife with abuse. He was held by Israel for seven months last year, during which time he says he was beaten, humiliated, denied medical treatment and tortured. He also describes routine sexual assault and sexual humiliation of prisoners by Israeli soldiers, as well as the use of military attack dogs on the detainees. No charges were filed against Alser before he was released back to Gaza. “Most of the prisoners I met inside the prison are civilians or civil workers here, working inside hospitals, schools, universities,” Alser tells Democracy Now! from Gaza. “We as healthcare workers, we don’t have any agenda against anyone. We just provide medical care.”
