Detailed description of violation:
“When I was arrested on May 2010 by the Lebanese army intelligence services, they wanted me to confess to being a spy for Mossad. They tied me up on a table. They started hitting my feet. I started feeling very strange, getting pins and needles in my hands and feet, and I felt I was about to pass out. I was screaming, I was crying. They kept repeating : “you’re a spy, confess!”. At the end, I signed all papers. Then I spent 5 days blindfolded and handcuffed in a corridor of the Ministry of Defense. I felt very bad. I could hear the screams of people being tortured, the sound of electric shocks, I even heard dogs barking ! I really thought my life was over!”
