Dr. Aaron Lerner Date: 11 March 2010

In a live telephone interview this evening on Channel 2 news, Nissim Salem,
who had been captured in Bhamdoun on 4 September 1982 (Peace for Galilee
War), by the PFLP, said that when he told Red Cross officials that he was
being tortured the officials warned him not to complain. The Red Cross
officials explained that if they reported back his complaint that he was
tortured that they would never be able to visit him again.

Nissim Salem was released on 20 May 1985, as part of an exchange referred
to as the "Jibril Deal".
