Israel must stop ‘humiliating and torturing’ Palestinian prisoners, says rights group

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has condemned “Israel’s systematic, widespread and growing trend of humiliating, torturing and ill-treating Palestinian detainees with impunity”.

It has called Israel’s actions towards Palestinian prisoners “appalling”, in a series of posts on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“Israel continues to publish footage that deliberately aims to degrade & humiliate Palestinians detained, tortured and ill-treated in the West Bank for war propaganda,” said the rights group.

“We have documented multiple similar incidents that violate the Geneva conviction about the treatment of detainees,” it added.
