UN Reports Israel Uses Torture on Palestinians

The United Nations Committee Against Torture has identified credible evidence of Israel’s systematic torture and ill-treatment of Palestinian detainees, including children, which may constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity. The report details severe abuses, such as beatings, electrocution, and sexual violence, with 75 Palestinian detainees reportedly dying in custody since October 7, 2023. The Committee has urged Israel to halt these practices, ensure independent monitoring of detention facilities, and hold accountable those responsible. It emphasized the urgent need to protect vulnerable detainees and investigate allegations of torture.
