HOW TO FACE THE INTERROGATOR

EXTRACTIONS FROM THE BOOK
THE PHILOSOPHY OF ENCOUNTER BEHIND THE BARS
Written by a team of Palestinian prisoners
EXTRACTED, ORGANIZED AND COMMENTED BY: Ali Hattar


INTRODUCTION TO THE ENGLISH VERSION:

The Militants of Arabic Palestinian People in the occupied Palestine have a long considerable accumulative experience in the tunnels of interrogation and cells of arrest in Zionist prisons and prisons of Arabic and foreign countries, starting with the early beginnings of the Arab-Zionist fight , and still going on.. Add to this experience, the experience of the prisoners of the Lebanese resistance in South Lebanon.
Taking in consideration that the Zionist Occupation has its racist and fascist telmodistic school of interrogation with the arrested, detained and prisoners, and in using the different means to extract confession and information, in order to prove their participation in the relative illegal activities, and to use the extracted information in the follow up of the secret activities of other militants.
In order to educate the militants, a team of experienced prisoners issued a book titled "THE PHILOSOPHY OF ENCOUNTER BEHIND THE BARS", to present a collection of principles and fundamentals, and to summarize an accumulated experience, and to present the different means and tools to which the militants are exposed in the jails of the Zionist enemy, in order to arm and equip the militants, with the scientific knowledge in advance, about the interrogation and the applied means, to help them to maintain their steadfastness and challenge against the interrogators, and to protect the resistance and other free militants, by making them acquainted of what is waiting for them in the interrogation tunnels if arrested, and to recommend the best behavior during the interrogation, in order not to be surprised, to avoid failure and collapse.
As the book is not easily available in any market, because the Authorities of Zionist occupation draw any volumes that might be distributed to bookshops, and because the book is in 250 pages, which cannot be available to every body. I have studied it and extracted principles, recommendations and instructions, and phrased them in a way to be useful to every militant, whatever his education and cultural level is, and to save the time of those who do not have it.
The militants also shall pay attention to the fact that the enemy may still use other methods than those cited in this summary, as he is experienced in the fields of torture and interrogation, and in his non-human attitude towards the militants, and towards the human rights. But we still confirm that reading these summarized and simplified concentrated papers helps the arrested militant to understand what is going on during the interrogation, and what he is going to face, so that he can protect himself against collapse.
No copyright is put on this summary by the editor, as no copyright has been put on the original book by the authors, all militants are not only entitled to copy and distribute it freely to other militants, but they are supposed to do so.
The summary is divided into several sections in order to optimize the profit out of it.
The Arabic version of this summary was achieved on the 1st anniversary of the Palestinian splendid Intifada against the Zionist enemy and published in the Jordanian Newspaper "ASSABEEL"

PROCEDURES AND STEPS OF ARREST:

If arrested, expect the following acts, so that you are not surprised:
- They may break into your house or your work place, or may take you in the street.
- If they ask you to sign any paper, don't do it
- Don't sign any paper acknowledging that they took nothing from you, or from the place they took you from.
- If they find any relatively illegal subject with you, don't sign any paper admitting that.
- Most probably, they will push you violently into their vehicle, lay you under their feet, step over your body, hit you with their guns, blindfold your eyes and handcuff your hands, drive you until the location of arrest, using all types of insults and humiliation against you.
- Sometimes you may be lucky to be arrested peacefully.. don't think they love you!.
Upon arrival to their exchange location, they deliver you to the concerned professional authority..
- They uncover your eyes, and unchain your handcuff, temporarily, force you change your clothes, search them and seize your objects (put the non-important ones in their lockers), cut your hair, hang a small identification tag with a number on it, take your photograph from all sides, exactly like criminals, they force you to give them all your fingers' prints.
- Your "picnic" in the world of violation of human rights, starts at this moment.
- They handcuff your hands, blindfold your eyes, drive you to what looks to you as "the unknown".
- They drive you in corridors, lifts and stairs, and they may circulate you in the same corridor several times, and take you up and down in the same stairs, may let you hear different types voices and screams, to exercise psychological pressure on you, and let you under the impression of being in mazes and labyrinths, and it let you think that they are huge and powerful. Don't be surprised, they turn around in a limited place. You cannot notice that before your eyes are blindfolded.
- during that they insult you, hit and kick you with feet with heavy boots in order to prepare you to the interrogation party, they insult you, hit you, make you hear some sufferance screams, may show you some tools that are used in torturing the militants
Then they put you in a cell.. small, big, tight, spacious, high, low, anything.. it is a cell in jail..
Time has no value for them, they may interrogate you immediately if they are urged to take some information from you, or if there is an external pressure on them, or they may interrogate you after one day, two days, one week, anything.. Every thing there is slow.. to force you to collapse.. Don' let them get that, don't be psychologically affected, maintain your steadfastness which made you participate in the struggle of your people.. which depends on your steadfastness..

AT ONE MOMENT.. THE FIGHT STARTS:

They drive you in a barbarian way, pushing and kicking, from your cell, blindfolded, handcuffed, surrounded by cruel non-human guards.
They lead you through some corridors where you may hear some artificial or real noises of torturing other militants, with screams of sufferance.
You think you have the right to eat, drink and use the toilet.. this may not be the case.. these rights are not guaranteed.. but generally they are denied and used against you, to force you to surrender.. don't yield.. be strong.
Don't be afraid when you are in your cell.. it is the temporary station of peace for you. Despite the fact that you are completely isolated from what goes on in the outside world..
But you have to be careful, they may let you hear some fabricated news
Never believe that you became alone.. this is what they want you to do..
- remember always that your comrades are in action..
- that they never forget you and will do anything to support you
- that your people has declared a continuous revolution
- that this revolution depends on your steadfastness and challenge..
- That any information you give to the interrogator will be used against you, and will hurt the continuity of the revolution
Then the PARTY OF INTERROGATION begins between two fighters:
A human being with a cause, ideological militant, strong, stubborn, single, isolated, unarmed except from his decision, his belief and knowledge that the destiny of his people, parents and cause depends on his attitude and his force.. THAT IS: YOU
Facing a man, who is an employee waiting for his salary at the end of the month, sadist or psychologically deformed, trained to have a poker face, mostly without ideology, without principles, but with access to information, his power depends on the walls of his castle, and on thousands of armed guards and soldiers surrounding him, with well defined jurisdictions and authorities that he cannot exceed.. THIS IS THE INTERROGATOR
The ring is: THE TUNNELS OF INTERROGATION

INTERROGATION AND INTERROGATORS:

You have to know the following:

- Refusal of writing a confession is the first step to disobedience and challenge
- Any information, whatever small it is, or seems to be worthless or insignificant, might be important and useful to the interrogator.
- Remember that the interrogation is not eternal and must have an end, and shall become a "memory", so let end without confession or surrender.
- In the first encounter, remember that the interrogator is provided with some information about you, but this does not mean that he knows every thing, or lot of things about you, although he tries during the interrogation, to let you think that.
- Be sure that he even does not know your psychological status, bur tries to figure it out from your behavior and reactions to his questions and to his behavior.
- He does not know you, and one of his real targets is to reveal your personality, to be able to build up his plans, in order to attack you and to disturb you self confidence, to drive you to obedience and cooperation..
- He does not know whether your are going to withstand or to collapse, so create in his mind the idea of your withstanding and your stiffness from the beginning and never give him what serves his plans
- Remember always that the interrogator is an employee, who is paid to do his job, and that for him, you are just a routine case, and his power is based from his authorities and not from his personality, while for you, you are the facing pole, your power is based on your belief in your cause, and on the fact that you are a militant, not a rented employee. That is why you have to be stronger.. IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE INDEED STRONGER!
- Remember that the fight between you two, is determined at the end of the interrogation phase, this depends always on your power and stiffness. Remember always that the success of the interrogator means that he will has the upper hand on you and on your people..
- Remember always that the interrogator cannot be a friend, neither he can be merciful towards you! He is an enemy and a beast, but he is capable, when employing the means available to him, to change his face, mask, and ways of interrogation!
- Never interrupt the interrogator during interrogation, what ever he says is not of your concern.
- A very important principal: ONLY IDIOTS BELIEVE INTERROGATORS.!

SUCCES AND FAILURE OF INTERROGATION

Remember the following:

- An important fundamental: It is very easy to mislead the interrogator.
- If you pass safely, your power and stiffness increase, you will be honored and respected.
- If the interrogator fails in a point, he will always try a last shot, never let him score.
- If the interrogator himself is replaced by another one, employee by employee, this happens because of your success.. The second one will definitely start weak, due to the impression he has about you after the failure of his colleague, so, double your withstanding. The interrogators, in the deep, retreat in front of a strong non yielding militant.
- Interrogation is experimental. You are the one who decides its failure or success..
- When the interrogation procedures fail and seem to be over, you may be sent, for a last trial, to socialize with other solid jailed militants, in presence of some spies, hoping that you reveal some secret information there..

HOW INTERROGATION PROCEDURES GO ON..

The interrogator always follows predetermined steps, and studied programs to follow. Normally he does not have initiatives, he tries to make you think that he is a scientist in psychology, in a trial to overcome you, while you are free in selecting your methods and ways of self defense, so disobey and make his methods fail, and always STAY MASTERING THE SITUATION.
- The interrogator tries to make you believe that he can prolong the interrogation as long as he likes. in this: he is a liar.. because his authorities are limited, and he is tied by his predetermined duties, not free to do what he likes.. he tries to persuade you that his contentment and satisfaction is good for you. He lies, and whenever you believe him, you are trapped.
- He may open some marginal, non-important or general issues. If he does so, he may extract some data to use against you and your comrades, without you noticing that. Don't talk to him, to avoid giving him this opportunity.
- The interrogator returns to the over passed issues, from time to time, to make you fall in error and contradiction, be careful.
- Bringing parents or relatives to exercise pressure on you, shall not shock or shake you.
- During interrogation, the interrogators may exchange roles, some who look cruel, and some who look gentle, don't be mislead, and don't pay any attention to that, never be attracted by any of them because he looks "gentleman". They are all the same, with one target: making you collapse.
- The interrogator tries always to tell you that the charges against you are not important, and that confession will not lead to harmful consequences. He pretends that what he is doing is not "interrogation", but just a routine work to close the files. Be careful, when he says that, he tries to trap you.. NEVER BELIEVE HIM.
- He tries to persuade you to care about your self salvation, and that the interrogation is the end of the race, and that your cooperation is your deliverance.. be careful.. by that he is trapping you.
- The interrogator tries always to plant the seeds of suspect in your mind, against your comrades, leaders, revolution, and parents, and to shake your relation with your organization, by using all the available means, don't give the chance to succeed. Don't believe him when he says that your comrades have betrayed you. Keep silent when he says that, or insist that you have no relation with that organization, or, praise the militants of that organization, without admitting that you have any relation with them.
- One of the methods that they use against you, is to underestimate you by saying: "you are nothing". Accept without reaction, because the aim of that is to provoke you to make you confess.
- You must be aware that the interrogators don't respect any ideology or religion, so it feasible to them, to slip people in religious dress, into the ring, to raise discussions and fights between the arrested or prisoners, and to convince the militants that what they do is not acceptable by religion, and to make them suspect each others by criticizing the behavior of some of them.
- The interrogator may hit you if you refuse to take a cigarette from him, or if you stand up or sit down. The real reason for that is either his feeling of failure, or his feeling that you are afraid of being hit, hence he tries by that to force you to obey, confess and cooperate by force.
- Some of the means used by the interrogator:
o Make you believe that the interrogation is endless
o Continuous threats in different ways
o Quick successive questions
o Insults and hits on sensitive locations of the body
o Hanging you from hands or legs
o Making you standing up for several nights and days.
o Preventing you to sleep for several days
All that can be done to put you in excitement, and to exhaust your brain, leading to weaken the brain conscious activity, and lead to physical disequilibrium, to the extent that the brain will stops working in order to have a rest, even for some seconds0 During this, the brain becomes weak, and the interrogator intervenes to attack an exhausted person, to provoke him and force him to confess or to submit information. Don't surrender, and don't be afraid f this situation because it has an end. During it, don't talk and remember only that your people revolution depends on your withstanding.
In order to exhaust the brain, the interrogator may attack the nervous system by hitting strongly at the ends of the fingers of the hands and legs, lips, ears, sexual members, jumping continuously from place to another, to create an ambiance of terror, doubt and brain fatigue and psychological effects. All that has an end.. this end depends ONLY on your stiffness and withstanding.
Remember that, at the end, the interrogator has to decide,
- either that you are INNOCENT,
- or WITHSTANDING not accepting to yield despite the encounter and evidences,
- or you are WEAK, unfaithful and TRAITOR.
These are the three options that he has. DON'T BE THE THIRD ONE.

CONFESSION:

- All what happens in the tunnels of interrogation, all the soldiers, buildings and intelligence services, have only one target: that is to obtain your confession.. in order to convict you, and to punish you.
- Remember that interrogation and pain end and become a memory, so either you make it a memory of honor and pride, by withstanding the interrogation, or a memory of shame, by confessing and collapsing.
- Confession and collapse is a case of non-justified defeat, surrender and languish which expresses the weakness of the militant and the victory of the interrogator, and the transfer of the militant with full awareness to a recruited agent of the intelligence services of the enemy, even to limited period, i.e. the interrogation period, which is more than sufficient to cause serious damage to the revolution. Collapse and confession are equal to treason, whatever the justifications are, even under the most cruel torture. In addition to that, remember that your confession is not going to protect you, but it will be used to prove your charges, by your own tongue, and will lead to striking your revolution from inside it, which is more dangerous than the enemy attacking from outside, in addition to striking yourself.
- Any confession under torture, will lead to additional torture, to obtain more confessions, because the interrogator will understand that you confess because you don't support torture! More than this, confession means to the interrogator, whatever the method used to obtain it, the beginning of a long series of interrogation procedures and pressure. You shall not try to justify your confession by any means, such as he impatience on torture, being incapable to bear it, or the presence of concrete evidences against you, as all these justifications of your confession, cannot be sufficient to forgive you for what is going to happen to your revolution and comrades after your confession.
- One of the results of your mean confession, is finding yourself facing some of your comrades, arrested because of your treason. The militant shall not disappoint his comrades or betray them, but he shall remain permanently in the circle of the team and the revolution, and shall not be pulled to the individual selfish circle to which the interrogator tries always to draw him.
- Partial confession does not mean "withstanding", whatever the volume of information you hide! It is the beginning of collapse. Withstanding shall be full and complete, which means hiding every thing. The partial confession is the starting point of the thread which the interrogator catches, analyzes, and follows to more information, of which you don't think.
- Confession and collapse are always voluntary, willful and subjective. Confession will produce disasters to you and to your people, exceeding any disaster that may result from all means and ways of torture
- Important fact: Confession leads to condemnation, judgment then prison, and harm to comrades and revolution., while withstanding may lead to administrative detention only..
- Remember that many of your comrades do not confess.. because they are heroes, be one of them. All those who confessed till now, said that they could avoided to confess if they withstood a little further!
- The interrogator tries to provoke your emotions, and to tell you that the charges against you are not important, and that confession will not lead to harmful consequences. He pretends that what he is doing is not "interrogation" but only some routine procedures to close the files of the case. He is lying.. never believe any promise from an interrogator.
- Most of the information that the interrogator says is based on assumption, and always incomplete, they try to complete it from what you say, from your confession and cooperation, and from what you say to them believing it is not important. When they tell you that they know every thing, ask yourself the following question: "If they know every thing, why they want me to confess??". They want you to confess, to condemn you, and to be sure that the incomplete information in their possession is correct, by obtaining your confirmation. For that, don't care to any information in their possession, even if it is correct, because they know that there is a big difference between the information that depends on the reports of their agents, and the one that is extracted directly from your mouth
- If the interrogator asks you about your comrades, free or arrested, don't admit that you have any militancy relation with them, and insist that you don't know them, even if the interrogator knows that they are your friends. Don't forget that if you tell any information about others, an additional charge will be added to your charges, it is the charge of hiding the information from the authorities, which may let the enemy dynamite your house and put you in jail for it.
- If any evidence is found with you, without being able to deny it, don't tell them neither about the source of that evidence, nor about the reason of it's presence in your possession. Say nothing about it. You shall know that with a small effort, you can always justify any evidence, and get rid of its consequences.. This always related to determination and withstanding. In general try always to prepare a false convincing reason to use it to justify any action or presence of evidence in case arrested or discovered.
- When present with other detained or arrested people, in jail or in the call, don't reveal your secrets and don't say any thing to any of them, because some of them could be foisted,others could be dangerous collapsed prisoner, taking in consideration that a real militant in such a situation does not need to know about your secret activities or about the secrets of the revolution.

WITHSTANDING AND TORTURE:

- Ann important fundamental: A hero before arrest is a hero after arrest, simply because he believes in his cause to the level of scarifying himself for it.
- Whatever the arrested militant is a simple person, withstanding is possible, as this does not need a university certificate.
- To withstand and overcome collapse believe in the fairness of your cause.. and before thinking of your self destiny:
o Remember that your withstanding will morally support your comrades struggling outside, and will protect them from arrest, which may take place due to your confession,
o Remember those who withstood before you, to protect you and the revolution
o Remember the sufferance of your people and parents, and that their detiny depends upon yourself.
o Remember that your collapse for them means that you are a coward traitor
o Remember that the motives for which you became a militant, before your arrest, are still valid, and shall remain valid after arrest at the same level of readiness and enthusiasm.
- If you were ready to die as a martyr in the street or in the mountains, for the sake of your cause, then there is no reason to fall during interrogation, or in prison, scarifying all what you did for the sake of the revolution, under the hits of some non-killing sticks. In case you get the honor of being a martyr, which is so rare during the interrogation, this will make you an unforgettable popular symbol and a hero.
- The interrogation is the sole place during the struggle, where you are not in danger if you withstand, as the danger due to hitting and torture, cannot be compared with bullets, bombs and rockets.
- The interrogation is a fight. What decides it's results is the willpower of the warrior, which depends on his personality, and on his belief in his cause and targets. Stiffness and withstanding come from his interior of the militant.. they represent solidarity with the cause, whatever is that cause, and being armed with them defeats the interrogator and make him bankrupt.
- Remember that between victory and defeat.. there is only one hour of patience..
- "One challenge" takes you to a continuity of challenge and victory. Defeating the interrogator cannot take place without disobedience and challenge. With these two, you can puncture, vent and weaken any attack.
- Weak persons give preference to themselves over the group, and avoid the challenge to ensure their safety, but they never obtain their safety if they collapse and confess, but they burn and burn others with themselves.
- If it happened that you collapse for any reason, go back to disobedience immediately, before your collapse shifts to a series of collapses and disasters to you and to your country.
- Collapse is losing all your struggle balance, and your transfer to the side of enemy, with paying the price also, as you will be charged and condemned, and every body will say about you: "even if he were not a spy, he confessed as if he were one, and brought arrest to his comrades"
- If you confess they will punish you and punish those about whom you confessed, but if you withstand, they will torture you for a while, but no body is going to be punished if no evidence is found. Being patient and withstanding is a matter of decision and not physical, and impatience also is a matter of decision and conscious.
- Never accept to be a witness against others. Arrest is not a reason to force you to be a witness against others.
- Try to transform ant encounter with an arrested comrade, to a motive of withstanding for both of you. If they face you with a confessor, let him be shy of what he did, and encourage him to disobey again.
- There is one correct reaction against all types of threats, this is "withstanding", even if it is a menace of assault against the honor, and if they threat you that they will rape your sister, you shall know that they have limits that they cannot go beyond, and that your confession will not protect your sister, but will expose her honor and all the revolution to danger. Don't forget that confession may lead to the arrest of some other female comrades, and to assault against them.
- Interrogation is one face and forms of the battles that take place in the streets, mountains and prisons, where you shall triumph over the enemy, as it depends only on your belonging and stiffness, It is the concentration of a state of an ideological elimination (kill or being killed) fight between the national movement, and its heroes, that your represent in the interrogation tunnels, on one side, against the interrogators that represent the reaction and the enemy on the other side, hose who have one end target, i.e. your collapse, and the use of your collapse to terminate you, your comrades and your revolution. REMEMBER THAT VICTORY IS A MUST, for that who is stronger ideologically, i.e. yourself, that is why you have to get it..
- The polygraph (apparatus used to discover if someone lies by observing some emotional reactions when he says some misleading incorrect information), is not more than a trick, and can be easily mislead, by moving the feet or the shoulders, in harmony with any misleading answer to the questions of the interrogator, and with the continuous thinking during the session, of matters that annoy you and make you sad, such as remembering martyrs, parents and children etc… In this case the apparatus cannot distinguish between your misleading answers and your state of sadness and anxiety.
-

SOME METHODS AND MEANS OF TORTURE, PRESSURES AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WAR APPLIED DURING INTERROGATION:

- Torture is not a target in itself, your confession is the target.
- Be sure that the probable physical harm that may happen to you during interrogation, will equally happen to the confessors and collapsed arrested militants, so it is more honorable to withstand with some harm, than betraying your revolution with the same amount of harm.
- Some of the means used to exercise pressure upon you, bringing your sister or mother, and threatening you to rape them.. your collapse will not protect them, but it becomes more probable to make you give more information. Normally, if you don't yield under the menace, they will not attack them..
- The interrogator will launch a psychological war on you, trying to convince you that withstanding is useless, and that every body confesses, and that you are not different than those who confessed by force or with kindness. He will says to you: "confess, it is better to you, to avoid torture". By saying that, he tries to make his lies look reasonable. He will use examples of collapsed cases, to put you under the idea of "if others confessed, why should I withstand??", This procedure succeeds only with weak persons, don't be one of them.
- You have to know that "hitting" is a must whatever your behavior is, so refuse to obey the orders, because obedience does not protect you. On the contrary, your disobedience will put you in a strong position.
- Whatever evidence they use against you, (report, or information from a traitor, or others' confession), you shall withstand against, as you can repel them, and you can maneuver around them, and get out of the dilemma with honor.
- Even if they tell you that your leaders collapsed, as part of their psychological war. Even if you see one of them doing so, you have to withstand, as the collapse of one responsible does not mean the collapse of the revolution..!
- Whenever the interrogator finds you withstanding an issue, he will switch to another one, until he fails.
- Collapse under "hits and strikes" encourages the interrogator to apply more of these hits and strikes, or to make them more cruel, to cause additional collapse. Collapse is a state of harmony with the enemy, where the enemy orders, the collapsed obeys, the enemy hits him, the collapsed kneels, the enemy asks, the collapsed answers, the collapsed bows down and fully yields to the occupation authority. After the victory of the interrogator, hits and strikes continue to humiliate or to force the collapsed person to execute additional orders such as convincing other comrades to confess, or more.
- The interrogator may use the polygraph, or go to hypnotism. You shall be sure that neither of those methods is dangerous to you..! They are used, only as part of the psychological war against you.! i.e. to frighten you in case you know nothing about them!!
o You shall know that if you don't accept it, hypnotism fails, you can easily repel. NO BODY CAN BE FORCED TO CONFESS DURING THE HYPNOTISM SESSION.
o The polygraph is just a trick. (as explained above)
o You shall know that there is no single case, where secrets were revealed under coma or unconsciousness. If they tell you that you have confessed during the hypnotism session, be sure that they are liars, and that they just want you to confirm some specific information, i.e. the information which they pretend that you said during hypnotism. Normally they have this information either by assumption, or through their agents.
- The interrogator may expose your senses of vision and hearing to some upsetting and annoying influential actions, such as monotonous boring noises, or high annoying screams, or dazzling brilliant lights, or views of torture, all in order to influence your nervous state. All this shall not have any effect upon you. Your withstanding makes it fully useless, specially if you expect it in advance.
- They may you prevent you sleeping several days, by interrogating you alternatively. They may inject you with insulin, or anesthetize you, to cause disequilibrium in the functions of your body in order to dominate your brain. You shall know that "sleeping" is going to take place, in spite of the interrogator, without any risk on your life, either in a form of slumber, or in a form of coma. Don't believe them and continue withstanding, to fail the plan of the interrogator, and never yield or accept any deal in return for allowing you to sleep. All that shall not leads you to confession.
- Giving any promise under torture to reduce its severity, is equal to yield. This encourages the interrogator to increase the intensity of torture, and if he stops it for a moment to get some confession, he will always ask you to fulfill your promise.
- The interrogator may crowd and squeeze you like sardines, in very bad conditions, with other arrested persons, in a position that does not permit sitting, or sleeping, without ventilation sweating without waste cleaning, with spraying you all with detestable unpleasant smell products. Leaving you without food and insulting you all the time, making you hear continuous high screams.
- If you are alone, the target of all this sardine session, the others that are arrested with you, asks you to confess in order to save them from this cruel situation. They may menace you and exercise pressures on you. The interrogators may insert some spies, whose role is to frustrate the will of the militants, by repeating that they themselves have become ready to confess, and the situation becomes unbearable. Know that all this is being done to create a state of collapse and failure in yourself. Withstanding after such an operation, will make the interrogators believe that, in principal, it is useless to continue interrogating you.
- If they insult you during interrogation, remember that the shame and dishonor is not in hearing an insult from the enemy, inside the interrogation tunnels, from a mean villain interrogator, but in the confession that exposes your comrades and revolution to danger.
- ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT INTORRAGATION AND TORTURE HAVE ENDS. You will remain after that either a mean collapsed betraying confessor, condemned convicted and jailed because of your confession, or a WITHSTANDING HERO, OF WHOM EVERY BODY IS PROUD. Let the trial, with your stiffness, end without submitting any information to the enemy and without surrender.

THE RISK OF COOPERATION WITH THE INTERROGATOR:

- The target of the interrogator is to destroy the arrested militant, and to lead him to confess about himself and about others, and to reveal his secrets and to throw him after that without will, without aim, to convict him, and to strike his revolution. The interrogator works by all means to attain this target. He will try to create an ambiance of cooperation between you and himself, by cheating and maneuvering, to show a harmony and discussion of general unimportant matters, and by going back to matters that he passed over from time to time, and speaking about the past. ATTENTION!! All this is to trap you and make you fall in mistakes and in contradiction!! As the aim of interrogation is not the waste of time and chatting, you have to pay attention to every word pronounced by him, whatever innocent it looks for you!! Don't cooperate with him in any subject he tries to plunge in to it with you. He can always extract some information that he can use against you and against other comrades.
- Remember that the enemy's authorities services condemn you based on what you say!!
- The only answer that protects you despite what they do to you, is the absolute refusal to cooperate in any thing. This will seriously disturb them, and will eliminate your barrier of fear.
- Always remember: any type of deals with the enemy is a treason that takes you to the waste land and dunghill of the history. Whenever the enemy tries to conclude a deal with you, remember that he never fulfills his agreements. In fact, he is himself is illegal.. The moment you confess, he will start to use your confession to condemn you. He forgets all his promises that he gave to you in the deal. If he promised you to ensure your freedom against confession, he lies, as he cannot convict you unless you confess, Confession only is the legal justification and support to your condemnation. He may say to you, when you meet him after that, "we are putting you in jail to protect you against your comrades, who will kill you, because they will think, in case you are released, that you have betrayed them".
- When the interrogator issues orders that look simple such as "sit down" or "stand up", he aims to create the elements of obedience and cooperation in the militant's attitude, so that he continues in that. After all, he who obeys, answers the questions!
- Don't accept to take a cigarette or a cup of coffee, this will be the starting trap. Remember that a single cigarette that you may accept to take from the interrogator, will may pull you to start the cooperation, which may take you to years of prison, or lead to striking your revolution and comrades!! A he does not know except bargains and barters.
- He may hit you if you refuse to take a cigarette, or if you stand up or sit down.. the real reason behind doing so is either his feeling of failure, or his feeling that your are afraid of hitting, so he tries to use it to create a state of obedience and cooperation in your attitude.
- The interrogator can hit you, can make you starve and thirsty, but he cannot move your tongue to confess, without your cooperation.
- Interrogation is one face and forms of the battles that take place in the streets, mountains and prisons, where you shall triumph over the enemy, and not cooperate with him, as it depends only on your belonging and stiffness..
- The interrogator may ask you in the name of Bible, Qoran, or prayers and different ideology and religions, to speak. All those do not allow you to collapse and confess in front of aggression and oppression, never cooperate with the criminal that violates them all, despite his trial to speak in their names to cheat you.
- Any type of obedience during interrogation is equal to yield to humiliation
- Never interrupt the interrogator during his speech, as this shall never concern you
- Any information, whatever small it looks, when submitted, may be of useful to the intelligence services.
- If you feel that you are trapped, go back to disobedience immediately, it is never too late to do so.
- Use similar answers if you started to answer, such as "I don't know", "I know nothing", "that is not important to me". These answers disturb the interrogator.
- If the interrogator catches the tip of the thread, he starts to pull it to get a bigger confession.
- Never let the interrogator make you think of personal safety.. and that the interrogation is the end of the road, or that your cooperation is the single way of salvage..
- When you look experienced to the interrogator, he goes to more clearer and direct methods, by showing you evidences and proofs. Use that in evaluating the charges, force him to reveal his papers, without creating any form of cooperation between you and him. Withstanding will lead them to reveal more of their papers. When you are experienced, you know in advance what is waiting for you.
- All the means of interrogation are based on trial and error. You can make them fail.

REMEMBER THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO MISLEAD ANY INTERROGATOR..!

THE ROLE OF AGENTS AND TRAITORS DURING INTERROGATION:

- FUNDAMENTAL FACT: Wherever there is a revolution, means that there is an oppression and forces of oppression, and counter revolution. This means the presence of intelligence services, which leads to the presence of "agents and traitors".
- The failure is a mean riding animal to the men of the intelligence services. They can employ him anywhere they decide, and in any dirty mission they want, although they squeeze him out and throw them to the waste land after every use.
- The target of the traitor in his life, is to respond to all what they ask him to do, as they put him in a state of fear that they unmask him and make of him a scandal in the society, and among his parents, and threaten to kill him if he hesitates in cooperating with them.
- Normally they start with a balanced relation with their agent, until he gets involved in treason, where they transfer him to a mean riding animal, and cancel all their commitments to him, (this happened with many agents).
- They continue to make him fail socially and morally, to make him always feel stranger in his country and society. Because this type of people is the type of which they guarantee the fidelity, they transform him to a person who cares only for collecting money, and obtain their contentment.
- The intelligence services use different methods to trap the agents, money, arms in his pocket, prostitution, exchange sisters, (it happened that a man of these services asked a traitor to exchange his sister with the man's sister, when he did so, he discovered that the other one is not the sister of the intelligence services man, every thing was recoded and filmed.. it was a real dilemma. They used it to threaten him with scandals that he cannot face.
- The traitors are used to encounter the militants, as part of them, They act during the encounter the required roles, such as falling, collapsing, confession, and all what they are ordered to do in order to frustrate the militants.
- Some of these traitors are inserted in the cells as if they are arrested militants. They act either the role of heroes, to gain the trust, or the role of failures to frustrate and weaken the psychological state of the militants, or the role of innocent persons who is going to be released after a short period for lack of evidence against him, he proposes his services to the militants and ask them if they want him to carry any message to their comrades outside the jail. This is done to discover the structural relations and contacts between the militants and their organizations.

SOME OF THE DUTIES OF AGENTS AND TRAITORS DURING AND AFTER INTERROGATION ARE THE FOLLOWING:

o Collecting information to help interrogators
o Spying militants and to frustrate them, and make them feel hopeless.
o Trying to become members of the organized revolution / resistance movements. If any of them succeeds in doing that, he tries to obtain important confirmed secret information about free and arrested militants.
o Intriguing and making conspiracies among organizations' militants in prison, to raise fights and conflicts among them.
o Climbing to the ranks of leadership, to use the position to collect information and planting disorder, and burning the trusted known militants and spoil their reputation and behavior, and submitting data about recently arrested militants to the enemy
o Stirring up the ideological controversies and disputes, to keep the prisoners off the fight against the enemy.. and to justify the repressive behavior of the prison administration against them. In some cases, the traitors presented themselves in the prison, as religion men, to be trusted, then they started to plant suspect in the behavior of militants and their morals.
- Some of the militant leaders in prison, need to have assisting companions, to perform some militancy missions, The agents try always to take these positions. They do very well there to discover all contacts and works of secret nature.
- With any cellmate (roommate), or any person you meet during interrogation, keep your secrets and information, even if he is a real militant, who will not blame you if you do so, as he understands the reason behind it. As a matter of fact, he does not need to know any thing of that.
- Be careful against those who collapse during the interrogation,! Any one that is recruited in the interrogation tunnels, is more dangerous than that who is recruited outside, knowing that some of them may be recruited in exchange of silly promises to improve treatment or to give them some cigarettes, or promising them to make their judgment shorter against submitting some worthy information.
- Hiding information and secrets after the interrogation, is as important as hiding them during the interrogation phase. In several cases, the enemy could obtain in the prison, what he could not get during interrogation!!
- Some of the traitors try to spoil the reputation of some strong militants, by sleeping besides them in a specific position, then screaming that they try to rape them.
- Many traitors were revealed and unmasked in prisons, the occupation authorities isolated those traitors in order to protect them, in special departments, named by the militants as "departments of shame", and while the traitors are named as "THE BIRDS".
