Torture Against Palestinians Prisoners

Report by OHCHR | August 2024

UN experts condemned Israel's escalating use of torture against Palestinians in custody, calling it a preventable crime against humanity. Reports describe widespread abuse, including physical and sexual violence, inhumane conditions, and torture methods such as electrocution and waterboarding. Experts emphasized that these practices are part of a systemic effort to suppress Palestinian resistance and urged international intervention to monitor and protect detainees. They called for accountability and investigation into these human rights violations.

Allegations of gang-rape of a Palestinian detainee, now shockingly supported by voices in the Israeli political establishment and society, provide irrefutable evidence that the moral compass is lost.
