B’tselem introduces its new report on the Israel prison system:
Living Hell” follows on B’Tselem’s August 2024 report “Welcome to Hell.” It provides updated figures and new testimonies from 21 Palestinians released from Israeli prisons in recent months and indicates that Israeli prisons continue to function as a network of torture camps for Palestinians, with the systematic abuse even more extensive than before. This includes physical and psychological abuse, inhuman conditions, deliberate starvation and denial of medical care, all of which has led to numerous deaths. Some witnesses also described undergoing or witnessing sexual violence and abuse. The transformation of prisons into a network of torture camps is part of the Israeli regime’s co-ordinated onslaught on Palestinians aimed at dismantling the Palestinian collective.
