Another ugly secret comes to light:
“I was barefoot in my pyjamas when they arrested me and it was really cold,” says Sameer Jadala, a Palestinian school bus driver. “When I got to that place, they told me to strip and gave me a blue uniform. Then they gave me a black sack. They told me: ‘This is your sack. You need to keep it with you. Any time someone comes to your cell, you must put it on your head. Any time they deliver the food, you must put it on your head. You must never see the soldiers’ faces. You do not want to know what will happen if you take it off.’ Sometimes I thought I would die in that place and no one would ever know.”
