Broken thumbs, jaws and ribs: Details emerge of Israel’s ‘brutal’ treatment of Palestinian detainees
Dozens of Palestinian prisoners are being held indefinitely in an underground Israeli detention facility while deprived of sunlight and subjected to extreme violence, Palestinian lawyers say.
Lawyers for Palestinians held at Rakevet, an underground wing of the Ramla (Nitzan) prison complex in central Israel, said their clients have been assaulted, starved and denied medical care despite serious injuries.
The reports are the latest to detail wide-scale abuse in Israel’s prison system as the country has ramped up its arrests of Palestinians during its two-year genocidal war on Gaza.
One detainee, referred to by the initials YH, had a broken jaw, shoulder and ribs yet had received no medical treatment. Another, known as KHD, said Israeli prison guards punish the prisoners “by breaking their thumbs”.
More than 9,200 Palestinians are detained in Israeli prisons, according to the latest figures from the Palestinian prisoner rights group Addameer. The majority are in what’s known as administrative detention, held without charge or trial.
