Detention Conditions of Detainees from Gaza - Humiliating and Inhuman Treatment
Human rights organizations in Israel appeal to the Military Advocate General and the Attorney General to protest the disturbing and inhuman conditions in which Palestinians arrested during the fighting in Gaza were held. HaMoked and the Public Committee against Torture have received testimonies indicating that detainees were held, inter alia, in giant pits, exposed to harsh weather, without basic sanitary facilities or food. The organizations demand a thorough, independent investigation, in order to prevent the recurrence of such practices.
