Have you ever heard of Khader al-Tarazi (1968-1988), the Gazan Palestinian Christian?

Al-Tarzi was arrested on February 8, 1988, and after being beaten, he was tied to the front of a military jeep and taken to the Ansar 2 detention camp. It was documented that the camp doctor refused to treat him on the grounds that he was in the final moments of his life. However, due to pressure from fellow prisoners, he was transferred to Soroka Hospital, which refused to admit him. He was then transferred to Ashkelon Hospital in al-Majdal, where he died on the way.

Khader’s body was transferred to the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute, which allegedly removed organs from the martyr’s body. He was returned to his family after his eyes and internal organs had been removed. A medical report stated that the cause of death was “severe beating, skull fractures, a broken spine, and other fractures.”

Following human rights and legal pressure from the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, an Israeli military court was convened for the soldiers who had tortured him, but they were acquitted of the charge of murder.
