Palestinian police discover man chained in barn for 25 years
Palestinian police say they discovered a mentally ill Palestinian man who had been held captive in a barn for the last 25 years south of Hebron.
Police spokesperson Luay Irzeiqat tells the Ma’an news agency that a cop spotted the man, 35, while passing through the town, which was not named.
The brother of the man was detained for questioning.
According to the report, the man had been held in iron chains and was forced to eat with sheep and chickens.
A picture published by Ma’an showed the man’s badly bruised feet in chains.
