Moumen al-Natour, a 30-year-old Gazan lawyer and anti-Hamas activist, has survived unimaginable torture by the Islamist group that controls Gaza.
THE DAILY MIRROR -- As the leader of the 2019 protest movement “We Want to Live,” he’s been arrested 20 times, stripped, whipped, hung upside down, and forced to squat for 24 hours. His “crime”: opposing Hamas’ rule.
Moumen says Hamas accuses him of working with Israel or the Palestinian Authority, charges he denies. “They believe they are right, and anyone who opposes them is an infidel who can be killed by a cleric’s fatwa,” he told The Daily Mail.
He recounted how militants once tied him by the legs to a metal platform called a “Blanco,” drenched him with water, and whipped him. Guards threatened to bring his family to prison and rape his mother and sister before his eyes.
