Israeli/German citizen freed from Lebanon, tells Haaretz his story

Daniel Sharon, the Israeli/German citizen who was arrested in Lebanon on September 18 on suspicion of involvement in a murder case, was released after 22 days in detention.

He told Haaretz about his experience in Lebanon.

When the police took him into custody at police station in a Shiite neighborhood, Sharon became concerned. "I sensed that I had entered a Shi'ite area, and the proof was in the Hezbollah flags and the slogans everywhere in praise of the organization."

When he revealed that he held Israeli citizenship at the station, he was immediately arrested and handed over to the Lebanese Defense Ministry. "It was a scary place, they transported me with my eyes covered and I felt as if I was being put underground. The questioning focused on my connections with the Mossad and why I had come to Lebanon. There wasn't any torture, just curses, but in the background I could hear the shouts of other detainees."
