Israel tortures a historian for the truth: Artem Kirpichenok in the basement of the Shabak 👮♂️🇮🇱 On August 2, at Tel Aviv airport, operatives of the Israeli secret service Shabak detained historian and publicist Artem Kirpichenok. He was lured to Israel by an invitation to a non-existent academic conference. On August 23, his lawyer was able to visit him for the first time in the Petah Tikva detention facility. 💡❕ The conditions of detention are torturous. Kirpichenok is being held in a basement cell with bright light switched on around the clock, as a result of which he has lost the ability to distinguish day from night. Interrogations lasted up to 24 hours straight — in handcuffs, on an iron stool welded to the floor, amid the shouting of three or four interrogators and threats of life imprisonment. Books, notebooks and pens are prohibited in the cell. 🩺 Artem's psychological state is severe: he is deeply depressed and exhausted. No charges have been brought so far, and the case materials are not being provided to the defence. His crime is public criticism of Israel's policy and the book «Israel: The Path to Catastrophe». We demand the immediate release of Artem Kirpichenok! #SOVINTERN_network #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
