Inside Lebanon's 'torture' prison
By Hilary Andersson in al-Khiam

Prisoners now free to tell of al-Khiam prison |
Soon after the Israeli withdrawal from South Lebanon, the guards
of the notorious Khiam prison fled, leaving the prisoners free.
More than 100 men women and children had been held in appalling
conditions.
Torture involved beatings, electric shocks and being hung by the
arms for hours
The jail is now empty and a flag of the Lebanese Hezbollah is posted
at the gates, but the prisoners' testimonies and the cells bear
witness to what went on inside.
Prisoners, some jailed for over ten years without trial, were
crammed into tiny, filthy spaces where they ate and slept.
They were allowed out, usually once a week for 15 to 30 minutes, to
visit a walled area with no roof called "the sun room."

Punishment cells
They said they were routinely tortured for the first three months of
their stay for three hours a day, three times a day.
The torture, which took place in a row of interrogation rooms, would
involve beatings, being prodded with live electrical cable in
sensitive parts of the body, and being hung from painful positions.
Near a post in a courtyard from where the prisoners said they would
be hung by their arms for hours at a time, hoods were lying on the
ground.
These were put on the prisoners' heads during the torture, a
stretcher laid nearby presumably in case of collapse.
The prison was also equipped with a row of punishment cells so small
that it was only possible to sit in them but not lie down.

Prisoners would be left in these for up to ten days at a time.
Throughout the jail was the stench of filth.
Al-Khiam was run by the SLA and Israel has always denied any
involvement.
But the prisoners said Israeli soldiers would regularly visit the
jail.
Some said they heard Hebrew being spoken in the interrogation cells
whilst their heads were covered with the hoods.
"When a Jew, in America or in South Africa, talks to
his Jewish companions about 'our' government, he means the
government of Israel."
