""Israeli soldiers had no right to take Mohammed from us in the first place," said Kadur. "For more than nine months, our family has been living a horrific and endless nightmare, particularly Mohammed's mother and father, who haven't been able to see or touch their youngest child for nearly a year, all while knowing Israeli soldiers were beating him and starving him.""
""We couldn't believe Mohammed was free until his parents wrapped their arms around him and felt him safe," he continued. "Right now, we are focused on getting Mohammed the immediate medical attention he needs after being subjected to Israel's abuse and inhumane conditions for months. We just want Mohammed to be healthy and to have his childhood back.""
""Relatives said he was taken to a hospital for intravenous therapy and blood work immediately after his release, and noted he is severely underweight, pale, and is still suffering from scabies contracted during his detention.Ibrahim had lost a quarter of his body weight in detention, his family said.""
Mohammed Ibrahim, a Florida resident, was arrested in February at a family home in the West Bank at age 15 on allegations of throwing rocks at Israeli settlers. He spent over nine months in Israeli detention. Family members report he was beaten, starved, and held in inhumane conditions, resulting in severe weight loss, pallor, and scabies. Relatives, rights groups, and U.S. lawmakers pressured for his release. After release, he was taken to a hospital for intravenous therapy and blood work. The family is focused on securing immediate medical care and restoring his childhood.
