There are many cases in Lebanon of people being taken to Israeli prison and forcibly injected with drugs and held for many years and most never get out. And one would think that people and authorities would start to take all of this more seriously,but sadly this is not the case.
For a start the Lebanese government is involved with the Israelis and helps them go into Lebanon and round up thousands of people,who are then taken away to prison in Israel,where they are forcibly drugged and experimented on.Militias like Hezbollah had sometimes succeeded in the past in breaking some people who were being held in Khaim Prison and Ansar prison out of prison.
These people were both citizens and militia members.But when Israel pulled out of the security zone in South Lebanon in 2000 and Khaim Prison was closed soon afterwards,and the prisoners moved to prisons in Israel,things became even worse.Although the Israelis were no longer in the far South of Lebanon,the Lebanese government continued to collaborate with Israel and even after Syria pulled out of the country in 2005,the Lebanese government is still involved with the Israelis. Although Lebanon authorities boast that Lebanon is a democratic country this is not true and deliberately misleading.Also nobody knows exactly where in Israel the prisoners taken from Lebanon and other countries are being held.
Militias including Hezbollah have found it near to impossible to slip into the country,Israel,without great danger of capture by the Israelis.Although it has been done but for security reasons we cannot tell you about this.But in Lebanon now and in other countries of the world No care or support or for that matter,understanding is being provided by authorities or legal systems for any of the few survivors of Israeli prison.But its not just in prisons in Israel that the drugs which cause damage to the mind and body,then eventually death,are being used.In the Middle East countries the same drugs used by the Israelis are used in mental hospitals and sometimes prisons.
And this is true of other countries in Europe and other parts of the world.There is a case of a young woman who is a personal friend of the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon.That young girl is Andrea Borman who is English and the Hezbollah met her in London in 1992.Hezbollah found out that Andrea was put in Israeli prison and forcibly injected with drugs in 1987,when she visited the country as a tourist and was taken to prison there.Then after two weeks on the drugs she was put on a plane back to England,after the Israelis took most of her money,as payment for her time in the prison.
But the damage had been done and her mind was already effected with the drugs.When the head general of Hezbollah militia met Andrea,he wanted to take her to Lebanon and give her a home with him.But things did not work out that way,because the Israelis found out about Andrea ,through an Israeli informer.And then the Lebanese government was given instructions by Israel to hand Andrea over to them,which meant,that Hezbollah could not take her with them to Lebanon.Because she would be put in Israeli prison by the Lebanese authorities and the Israelis.
But the story does not end there.Andrea was forced to move away from her mother and father,because in 1996 when she was living with them in her old area.In England each area is dealt with by a different authority unlike in Lebanon,where its dealt with by one authority.The authority that covered her parents area was Waltham Forest authority,when Andrea's father was in hospital in 1996, Waltham Forest authorities took Andrea away from the house and told her that her mother did not want her back home.But this was a lie as when the police took Andrea away,they told her mother they would commit Andrea to a mental hospital,if she allowed her back in the house.
Andrea did not know any of this at the time,and wrongly believing that her mother had thrown her out of the house,she took an overdose of tablets.Which Andrea said she did this because she thought the authorities would take pity on her and let her go back home.But they sent her to the local mental hospital in their area.Although she was not drugged,because her mind was effected by the Israeli drugs,she was unable to cope with being there but this was also due to the fact that the staff ill treated her.In addition to that the staff of the hospital that her father was still in,which was in Waltham Forest would not allow Andrea in to see him.
And every time she went to the hospital to see her father,the staff called security and had her removed from the building against her fathers wishes.Also in addition to that,they also telephoned the mental hospital where Andrea was staying and told the staff there where she was.But it seems that the mental hospital nurses did not really want to stop Andrea,visiting her father at the hospital he was at.Just stop her going back home.Afterward when Andrea's father came out of hospital,he tried to get the authorities to allow Andrea back home but the authorities would not allow it.Her mother also wanted her home but was too frightened to intervene
Eventually Andrea's father found her a flat in another area and under a different authority,Redbridge authorities.
There Andrea lived on her own for a number of years,but still had support from her family.Also Andrea still had symptoms from the drugs in Israel,and had severe depression as a result and had voluntary,been under the mental health services in Redbridge authorities.And also been in their mental hospital,although Andrea is not mentally ill,but suffers from the symptoms of the drugs.
England does not have any militias such as Hezbollah who deal with this type of problem.And also they don't have the reconditioning treatments or skills to treat this problem as the militias in Lebanon do.Also the people in England and all other countries apart from militias like Hezbollah and Hezbollah don't even have the understanding of this problem.Redbridge authorities seemed sympathetic to what had happened to Andrea in Israel and in her other authority,but then something changed.
In 2003,Andrea's father became ill and had to go back into hospital.The Middlesex hospital in London to be exact. But this hospital was under a different authority not Redbridge and not Waltham Forest.
Andrea went to see him. But was escorted out of the building by security,after an argument with a nurse who was rude to her.
Andrea upset went to her authority for support and she agreed to let them take her back into their mental hospital.But once there Andrea found the staff somehow changed,nothing bad happened to her in there,but they just seemed less friendlier.Although she thinks they did seem to understand the story of her past.Unable to cope with being inside the hospital while her father was ill,she discharged herself and the hospital let her go.
Andrea then went back to the Middlesex hospital to see her father.But when Andrea went to see her father she was escorted out by the nurse there.Also her family situation had changed since 1996 and one of her younger sisters(she has two sisters)had married an Israeli man.Andrea and her family are Christian and so is Andrea but her sister still married the Israeli and kept her Christian religion.
The Israeli husband of Andrea's sister was against Andrea,which Andrea thinks is because he knows about her imprisonment in Israel and the fact that Andrea is involved with Hezbollah.The day after Andrea saw her father her sisters husband,the brother in law was abusive to her verbally and told her the family did not want anything to do with her.Andrea turned to Redbridge authorities for help,she went to the emergency department at King Georges Hospital under Redbridge authorities. But the doctor she saw there told her that nobody would talk to her family on her behalf.And he would not listen to her when she told him what had happened to her before in 1996,with Waltham Forest authorities.
Andrea also tried to tell her father that the family had turned against her but the Middlesex hospital, where her father was in,would not let her speak to him on the phone and lied to her,telling her that he did not want to speak to her,which was false.On one occasion Andrea begged the nurse on the telephone,telling her about what happened to her in Israel and in her other authority,but the nurse showed no sympathy at all.And the authorities even told Andrea that,her family had no responsibility for Andrea,and when Andrea visited the house her family would not open the door to her.Andrea's father later died and she was cut off from her family.
She had no contact with them.Also after her father died although the people in the authority that knew her supported her emotionally. But when she went to the emergency department of her King Georges hospital.When she told a nurse she felt suicidal and her father died and she had no family,the nurse told her"it's easy to kill yourself,you can throw yourself under a train or bus or take insecticide"also the doctor she saw was unsympathetic and said brushed her off.
Although since that time Andrea has found out that Redbridge authorities frightened her mother and forced her not to have contact with Andrea.And Andrea now sometimes visits her mother at her mothers house,it seems that her mother is no longer able to support her.Also Andrea has found out that Waltham Forest authorities had also put her mother in their mental hospital,and although her mother is not in there now,something could have happened there.Andrea thought that she would be safe in her new area,Redbridge and that Redbridge authorities were sympathetic to what happened to her in Israel and in her other authority.She thought what happened to her in 1996 could not happen again but it has done.There are many questions here.
Why if Redbridge authorities knew Andrea's case would they do something similar to what Forest authorities did?That is cut her off from her family?It is true that the hospital Andrea's father was in was under a different authority and not all authorities are desirable.And the fact that it was another authority could be the reason for that hospital's lack of understanding.But that does not give them or any authority the right to be cruel to someone who is weaker than they are,Andrea.
Also Andrea is so traumatized by what happened to her and the way she was treated when her father died.That she is now prepared,to leave her area and even risk her life by going to Lebanon herself rather than remain living where she is.Andrea must now make the decision of remaining where she is or of leaving her area and Redbridge authorities,in order to break away from their unhealthy effects that they have on her.Which is something that could be said of many authorities all over the world.
But Andrea's situation is by no means unique, and in the Middle East including Lebanon and Iran,there are cases of people being abandoned by their families.
And it also happens to even the perfect person,even innocent respectable Islamic young women in Iran.For example in Iran there is a law that says that the father of the family is responsible for his daughter even if she is of adult age.But that does not offer her any protection,the law is always twisted in favor of the man who is the head of the house.The head of the house is the father,or if the woman is married,the husband or in absence of this,it could be an older brother,brother in law,an uncle,grandfather or an older nephew.In the case of where the head of the family decides to throw the son or daughter out of the house or even severer all contact with them.What is actually written in the law in Iran is one thing,practice is another.In the case of where the head of the family wants to get rid of a relative,a daughter,son,wife or other most of these unfortunate people are committed to mental institutions.
The head of the family can have the relative committed by just making a request to the police in Iran.Also especially if the family member is a girl or woman,the police will often have her committed to a mental hospital,on grounds of immorality,without the head of the families consent.The Iranian police and authorities have the legal power to do this in Iran.In Lebanon,there is no Islamic law as in Iran,it is a secular country but here also in Lebanon,the family can disown a relative,the same as in Iran and also have them put in a mental hospital.And many people both male and female including children are committed to mental hospitals by the state as well.So the question of if Andrea had lived in Lebanon or Iran would she have been better off or protected by the system if her parents had abandoned her?The answer is no.Andrea's family have not abandoned her,it is her authorities in England that have frightened her family and stopped them from helping her or being involved with her.
But it is still interesting to compare all three systems,although it's true that, England is not one of the countries that has the same drugs that Israel uses on it's people in their prisons and mental hospital's.And it does not force pregnant women into hospital to give birth and does allow the women to have a baby at home and even refuse medical treatment altogether.Where as in Iran and Lebanon this is not the case.But England still has an inadequate system and facilities to understand or deal in cases of people who have been in Israeli prisons.And to help or cure those who are suffering from the effects of the Israeli drugs.The Hezbollah in Lebanon have a way of treating the effects of these drugs by what they call reconditioning the mind.They do this by administering electric shocks to the brain.They have used this method on their own Hezbollah men and other people and have been successful in many cases.Although in mental hospitals in Europe a similar treatment is done there,it is not the same thing.The electricity used in these hospitals is not powerful enough to lift the effects of the strong drugs that have damaged the mind,or used for the same reasons.Also although Hezbollah and some other militias have this method of reconditioning the mind,for the purpose of ridding it of the drugs,authorities in Iran,Lebanon and other countries don't have this.Hezbollah say that if this skill was given to authorities they would abuse it and use it for the wrong reasons,maybe to hurt somebody.Which given the poor track record of authorities,they are right.
Hezbollah militia members themselves are not in contact with their family members in Iran,the country that they come from.Except for their wives or other relatives in the militia (brothers cousins etc)which is one of the conditions the militiamen made themselves,to protect outsiders.This is due the dangerous nature of their work,fighting Israelis, authorities.Israelis have been known to kidnap people who they believe are friends or relatives of Hezbollah members for the purpose of finding the real Hezbollah.Many of Hezbollah men who have been broken out of Israeli prisons in South Lebanon in the past by other Hezbollah, have not been returned to their families in Iran after reconditioning treatment.Because once back in Iran some of these men were committed to mental hospitals by their families and the authorities.Who in their ignorance thought they were mentally ill.So Hezbollah militia men have instead taken these men into their homes and cared for them themselves and given them homes.It is true that there was a time that the Head general of Hezbollah wanted to kidnap Andrea and take her to Lebanon.For the purpose of giving her a home with him in Lebanon,because he thought that she would not be willing to go with him.And yes it is true that the general and the other Hezbollah would not have allowed Andrea to go back to England or her family.
But this was because of the abuse of the authorities of England and that Andrea needed care and understanding that could not be given in England.Which is not the same thing that the authorities are currently doing now with Andrea who is still in England.But it does seem that the authorities have stopped the family having proper contact with Andrea.The world needs to change it's narrow mindedness in the way it sees other people who have been unlucky enough to became victims of Israeli prisons and the drugs.It also needs to be doing more to stop all of this and not ignore these facts as it does in the media.
These people were both citizens and militia members.But when Israel pulled out of the security zone in South Lebanon in 2000 and Khaim Prison was closed soon afterwards,and the prisoners moved to prisons in Israel,things became even worse.Although the Israelis were no longer in the far South of Lebanon,the Lebanese government continued to collaborate with Israel and even after Syria pulled out of the country in 2005,the Lebanese government is still involved with the Israelis.
