Accounts of alleged mistreatment in Israeli jails have all been denied by the Israeli authorities.
Israel’s military retaliation has killed at least 38,664 people in Gaza, according to the Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza.
“Israel has been waging a war of revenge against prisoners within the walls of prisons and detention centres since the first day of the decision to go to war against Gaza,” said Mr Qadura Fares, head of the PA’s Prisoners’ Affairs Authority. Mr Mahajna said he was told how guards forced one prisoner to “lay on his stomach naked and then a fire extinguisher tube was inserted into his buttocks and the fire extinguisher was turned on”.In parallel to increasing complaints by Palestinians, some Israeli rights groups are fighting for a court order to close Sde Teiman, a desert detention camp just for detainees during Israel’s war with militant group Hamas.
Mr Mahajna quoted Arab as saying that he saw one handcuffed prisoner die after being beaten for demanding medical treatment. He said about 100 detainees had diseases and wounds in desperate need of treatment.Five Israeli rights groups have gone to court over conditions at Sde Teiman.
