RAMALLAH March 25.2023 (Saba) - In the absence of international accountability, the Israel enemy enjoys a culture of impunity that systematically subjects Palestinian prisoners and detainees to numerous forms of torture and cruel treatment as part of its settler-colonial and apartheid regime against the Palestinian people, according to two Palestinian human rights organizations and Wafa agency.
“Although Israeli crimes of torture are well documented with evidence, various Israeli state institutions attempt to conceal these crimes. Israeli military courts often refrain from documenting the torture of detainees in court records and extend their detention for further interrogation.
The statement also addressed Israel’s enemy use of administrative detention, causing psychological distress and helplessness, with 967 administrative detainees, including five children, being currently held indefinitely without trial.
“The Israeli occupation systematically relies on administrative detention to arbitrarily hold Palestinians without charge or trial, indefinitely, based exclusively on secret information, preventing any fair trial. The number of administrative detainees has doubled currently standing at 967, including five children,” said Addameer and Al-Haq.
