"Lebanon military court drops charges against ‘Butcher of Khiam’"
"Amer Fakhoury is accused of overseeing torture of thousands and killing of several inmates at the notorious prison."
"Fakhoury is accused of overseeing the torture of thousands at the Khiam Prison in the 1980s and 1990s and being personally involved in the murder of several detainees, earning him the nickname, the Butcher of Khiam.
He fled Lebanon along with hundreds of other former SLA members after Israel withdrew from the country in 2000, eventually settling in the US state of New Hampshire.
He was arrested after he entered Lebanon in September.
However, a civil case against Fakhoury by former inmates of the Khiam Prison is continuing in a Beirut court on charges that he arrested, imprisoned and tortured them."

"EXPOSED: Torture, Hunger in Israeli-run Prison in South Lebanon"
"During its 15 years, Khiam Prison in Lebanon saw detainees imprisoned indefinitely with no trial, food shortages, electrocution, denial of medical care and other grave issues, newly declassified Israeli documents show."
Torturen og mishandlingen i Khiam-fengselet i regi av SLA i Sør Libanon og av Israels Shin Bet har vært kjent lenge.
"Khiam-bøddelen" Amer Fakhoury rømte til USA og ble amerikanske statsborger.
Da han i 2020 besøkte Libanon igjen ble han arrestert ... men frigitt av en libanesisk militær domstol fordi saken var foreldet ... selv om der fortsatt var en sivil sak mot ham.
Straks han ble frigitt satte USA inn et helikopter og hentet ham ut fra Libanon.
To år senere, i mars 2022 frigis det informasjon i Israel om den omfattende mishandlingen i Khiam.
Siste ord ord nok ikke sagt ... selv om IDF bombet Khiam-fengselet i 2006 og drepte FN-observatører der:
