RAMALLAH, (PIC)– Dirar Abu Sisi, a Palestinian engineer detained in Israeli Askalan jail, said that he lost one third of his weight ever since his abduction by Israeli Mossad agents a year ago in the Ukraine.

Abu Sisi, 43, told a lawyer for the Palestinian prisoner’s association that he was 98 kilograms before his arrest and now his weight is 66 kilograms.

He said that he was still held in isolation since his detention and has been interrogated by 40 Israeli agents, adding that his confessions were taken under torture.

The detainee, who has a doctorate in engineering, said that he was suffering from a number of ailments such as heart, kidney, and back problems in addition to pains in his left eye and stomach aches and that the prison administration only gives him sedatives.

Abu Sisi, a father of six children, worked as the deputy chairman of the Gaza power station before his kidnap from the Ukraine while with his family. His wife is Ukrainian.
