In my article about rape of Palestinians in Israeli prisons, one person who spoke on the record about having been raped was Sami al-Sai, a freelance journalist in the West Bank. He now reports that Israeli authorities recently delivered a warning to him through a relative: Drop media interviews or wind up back in prison. I wish Prime Minister Netanyahu would investigate these sexual assault allegations from the UN, from Israeli and foreign human rights groups, from journalists, rather than just denounce them, and I likewise suggest that if he thinks there's nothing to them he should allow Red Cross visits to imprisoned Palestinians.
