UN Experts Warn Of 'Escalating' Torture Against Palestinian Prisoners [View all]

UN experts warned Monday of "escalating use of torture" by Israel against Palestinian prisoners since the war in Gaza began and called for efforts to prevent crimes against humanity.



For their part, the experts claimed to have received "substantiated reports of widespread abuse, torture, sexual assault and rape, amid atrocious inhumane conditions, with at least 53 Palestinians apparently dying as a result in 10 months".

Reports from men and women described detainees "locked in cages, tied to beds, blindfolded and wearing nappies, undressed, deprived of adequate health care, food, water and sleep" and subjected to "electrocution, including of the genitals, blackmail and cigarette burns".
