This is the story of Ahmad Manasra, arrested when he was 13 and held in an Israeli prison for 10 years.
"Israeli authorities deliberately released Ahmad Manasra away from the main gate of Nafha Prison, where his family had been waiting to welcome him"
Ahmad, now 23, "was released in a highly fragile mental state, having endured torture and solitary confinement from 2021"

The goal is always the same, though: To use #prisoners’ bodies as weapons of political war & to do so against their will.

This is what evil, #illiberal regimes do.

Liberal regimes have standards for the treatment of prisoners. These standards are codified under the #GenevaConventions, which the #UnitedStates has signed & ratified.

Among the standards dictated by the Geneva Conventions is this: Prisoners may not be publicly exploited for purposes of #propaganda.

Continued thread

The use of #prisoners for #propaganda is as old as war itself. But there are a few recent examples you may recall. ISIS made extensive use of videos & pictures of imprisonment & execution. The Viet Cong & North Vietnamese alternated their approach. Sometimes they used American POWs as props to suggest that all was well in their camps & prisoners were being treated properly. (They were not.) Other times, they used images of American prisoners as tools to spread #fear.…

Actively repeating history. And Fox News was applauding this.

There is absolutely no reason to trust US statements in any way, not even head counts. If anything the working assumption should be that, unless and until otherwise identified, they are all US citizens guilty of no crime. This situation is reprehensible regardless of their actual nationalities, and compounded by the regimes actions in court we shouldn't at all dismiss the possibility that the US has gleefully deported it's own citizens, and sold them into slavery
