The Shame of Lebanese Media. A courageous Western reporter in Lebanon sent me this:
"trying to follow up the story of the routine torture of palestinian men by the lebanese military intelligence but that the lebanese media is pretty much ignoring the story altogether as they are too busy cheering on the lebanese army.." that press conference yesterday in badawi camp, all the lebanese tv went but no one covered it...nobody is talking about how these interrogations are happening to every male that leaves the camp between about 14 and 60 and that the number of people who have been beaten is very widespread, iv interviewed four (audio only) too scared for faces... today i interviewed someone who got out last night, he was in for 7 days, he was in such a bad state he spent last night in hospital, i filmed his injuries, he has huge purple bruises on his back and arms and his testimony is shocking, iv called everyone i know ...no lebanese tv will touch it, not even al manar or new tv, the human rights watch people here cant get any lebanese media coverage except for one article in al akbar that was about one specific case..."
