Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is in the hands of Israel's most sadistic prison guards.

True monsters made possible by decades of impunity and indulgence by the so-called enlightened world.

Indeed. It’s so depressing to know that he’s been slowly, brutally tortured to death in full view of those who could have put a stop to it and have chosen not to. Every leader — Western, Middle Eastern, Asian — everyone has known and done nothing about it. They know Israel has been doing this to Palestinians for decades and have never wavered in their support for it. But when one thinks about the kind of soulless monsters that populate Israel’s prison and judicial systems, able to torture their Palestinian hostages day after day, without flinching, impervious to the immorality of their behavior, let alone to the suffering of fellow human beings, it’s terrifying. Chilling. It’s a glimpse of Hell.

Hell on Earth brought here by those professing to be History's "eternal victims."

this is really grim and disappointing to hear, I hope Doctor A can be freed very soon!

A doctor held without charge, beaten to the edge of death, is not ‘security’ — it’s the collapse of every norm that claims to protect human life. If Abu Safiya dies in custody, it won’t be a tragedy. It will be a state killing

We need the medical associations here and abroad as well as all human rights activists, to demand Dr.Abu Safiya's immediate release!

May all these Monsters burn in hell for 3 or 4 generations !!!!

To add to this grim reality—his plight is or has been the plight of thousands of others.

I encourage all to write, message, call every potential intervener. But regardless of the outcome (and may it be with his release), there must be justice. Dr. Safiya's wounds are wounds to us all.

And his crime was to keep running his hospital under bombardment, trying to save lives, that's all.

It is so infuriating to be limited to just "liking" an update about this horrific crime, one man among the hundreds of thousand of human lives Israel and US govt are bent on destroying.

7th of July 2026 - The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has called upon Israeli authorities to immediately release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, rebuking his detention as “arbitrary.”

The intergovernmental body said in a statement on Monday that Israel’s detention of Dr. Abu Safiya contravenes multiple articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in addition to another significant international human rights treaty.

The UNHRC also raised alarms about the possibility that the Tel Aviv regime is engaging in the broad and systematic use of arbitrary detention.

The “possibility”? It’s not “possible”. It’s thoroughly documented and has been for many years.

Nancy's avatar

And “arbitrary?” Surely there are more descriptive words for his detention.

Claire Schut's avatar

Sure. Only, it's a quote. I can't rewrite words chosen by someone else.

Nancy's avatar

Yes, I get that. My reaction was directed at the authors who used that particular word. Thanks for sharing the information.

I agree that these are the avenues open to us and if we action these steps in the hundreds(hopefully thousands)a difference will be made in saving lives.

But bureaucratic options move a slow pace.

And while we can only focus on what we can control...

each hour,day and week that passes they are brutalizing him physically and psychologically.

We can only remain hopeful. Ultimately, responsibility for his immediate medical aid and release is in the hands of the Israeli prison industrial complex and well meaning Israeli-Jews in positions of influence.

Why doesn’t trump use his influence to free a soccer player so he could play in the WC to demand netanyahu to free the doctor?

Has not Israel proven beyond any reasonable doubt that it is quintessential evil incarnate?
