In Egyptian prisons, ac- cording to the alleged evi- dence, kicks and blows were administered continuously; prisoners were placed in soli- tary confinement and were forced to wash their faces in sewage water. A young armored corps soldier was tied arm and leg and beaten all over his body. Some men were beaten un- conscious and the beatings were resumed after they were revived. Israel claims that the Red Cross representatives were permitted to visit Israeli POWs only three days before the POW exchange. The POWs were then given pa- jamas, cigarettes and candy. Some were hastily treated by Egyptian doctors to cover up the evidence of ill treatment. According to Israeli au- thorities, every one of the re- turned POWs was in need of medical treatment and some were in a state of shock and could hardly speak when they got back to Israel. Israeli physicians detected evidence of internal injuries in some of the returned POWs. The Israeli charges relate only to prisoners captured by Egypt. No POWs have been returned from Syria to date but the evidence is that at least 28 Israeli soldiers were murdered in cold blood by their Syrian captors.
