"According to data collected by PHR, from January to August 2008, of 3,760 patients who submitted requests for exit permits from the Gaza Strip, 325 were questioned by the ISA and 1,310 had to cancel the medical appointments set for them and re-submit their requests. ‘Abd al-Karim al-‘Atal, a resident of Jabalya, in the Gaza Strip, was arrested and interrogated by the ISA in September 2009. His description of the events clearly demonstrates the ISA's wrongful use of this
procedure." (thanks Olivia)
