Dr. Mazen al-Rantisi, a 71-year-old doctor in Ramallah affectionately known throughout the West Bank as "the poor man's doctor," bears a fresh facial wound that he says was inflicted just 30 minutes before his release from Israeli custody. He says he was dragged into the release room with his hands cuffed behind his back, his legs shackled and his eyes covered, before a guard pushed him down and kicked him.
