הוועד הציבורי נגד עינויים בישראל

A variety of agencies in Israel – chief among them the GSS and the IDF – shackle detainees in painful ways that amount to torture and ill treatment.This is done in violation of Israeli law, basic moral principles and international law, including international human rights conventions  signed by Israel. The primary victims of this practice are Palestinian ‘security’ detainees.

The report, published this morning, reveals the widespread phenomenon of violence against bound Palestinian detainees by IDF soldiers and the almost absolute indifference of the IDF, the Ministry of Defense and the Knesset towards the existence of this phenomenon and the need to take action in order to eradicate it completely.
