Report Documents Treatment of Palestinians in Israeli Prisons

A report by Physicians for Human Rights-Israel (PHRI) highlights systematic torture and abuse of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention, revealing at least 94 deaths attributed to torture, medical neglect, or malnutrition. Testimonies detail severe mistreatment, including the deaths of Abd al-Rahman Mar’i and 17-year-old Walid Khaled Abdullah Ahmad, both of whom suffered from brutal conditions. Amid the ongoing conflict, over 18,500 Palestinians have reportedly been arrested, with many subjected to routine torture, contradicting Israel’s claims of lawful treatment. The report underscores a broader campaign of violence against Palestinians in custody, raising concerns over accountability and human rights violations.
