Journal tqft's Journal: Israel Prisoner X? 5
I had never heard of this anyone got any info?

"There would be one more blip of information that would sneak out. Prisoner X - held in a video-monitored, regularly checked, suicide proof cell - had killed himself.
Who was Prisoner X and what had he done to end up secretly jailed in a high-tech cell and locked down under a nationwide media ban?
Now, for the first time, some answers."
So anyway I will be recording the program in case anyone cares and can't access it themselves.

Date of death apparently 15.12.2010
Could be almost anything
