The father of Hisham al-Sayed, who was released by Hamas after nearly a decade in captivity, says his son is in a very bad state and is not used to contact with other human beings. He does not speak and is in a state of mental torture. Hamas did not stage a propaganda ceremony for his release, claiming it was out of respect for the Arabs of Israel. Al-Sayed, a Bedouin Israeli, had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and a personality disorder prior to entering Gaza.
