U.N. Report Says Palestinians Detained By Israeli Authorities Since Oct. 7 Faced Torture, Mistreatment

Huff Post  

Israeli soldiers gather at the gate to the Sde Teiman military base, where inside, soldiers are being questioned for detainee abuse, Monday, July 29, 2024. The Israeli military said Monday it was holding nine soldiers for questioning following allegations of "substantial abuse" of a detainee at a shadowy facility where Israel has held Palestinian prisoners throughout the war in Gaza. via Associated Press GENEVA — The U.N. human rights office issued a report Wednesday saying Palestinians detained by Israeli authorities since the Oct. 7 attacks faced waterboarding, sleep deprivation, electric shocks, dogs set on them, and other forms of torture and mistreatment. The report said Israel’s prison service held more than 9,400 “security detainees” as of the end of June, and some have been held in secret without access to lawyers or respect for their legal rights. “Some women and men also spoke of sexual and gender-based violence.” The report said the Palestinian Authority, which administers parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, had also “continued to carry out arbitrary detention and torture or other ill-treatment in the West Bank, reportedly principally to suppress criticism and political opposition.” On Wednesday, an Israeli military court extended the detention of eight out of nine soldiers detained over what a defense lawyer said were allegations of sexual abuse of a Palestinian at Sde Teiman — a shadowy facility where Israel has held prisoners from Gaza during the war.
