PCATI Updates its Report on Impunity: In 2012 despite Israel's Attorney General's pledge to reform the torture complaints investigation process there has been no change. The result: "Accountability Still Denied" 

This petition deals with the Attorney General’s complete abstention from ordering the opening of criminal investigations against GSS interrogators suspected of torture and/or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment (hereinafter: “ill-treatment”) of interrogees.

A new report by PCATI exposes an intolerable reality. Israeli authorities systematically prevent investigations of complaints of torture against General Security Service (GSS) interrogators. 

The public is invited to an international conference titled "Torture and Impunity  -  Ten Years after the HCJ Torture Ruling" that will be held on 27-29 December 2009.

A global coalition of civil society organizations, ncluding PCATI, have urged members of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to support the recommendations of the Goldstone Report...

With the publication of the Goldstone Committee report today, human rights organizations in Israel are studying the report and its conclusions, and they call upon the Israeli Government to take the report seriously and to refrain from automatically rejecting its findings or denying its legitimacy.

During the week of June 26, the date that marks the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, PCATI conducted its annual campaign which this year focused on "Shackling as a Form of Torture and Abuse".

On 6 July 2009, the High Court of Justice rejected the contempt of court motion filed by PCATI, HaMoked and ACRI on the violation of the HCJ judgement on torture of September 1999.

PCATI Attorney Majd Bader was invited to the United Nations in Geneva to testify before the Goldstone Commission.

The Public Committee Against Torture in Israel (PCATI) this morning petitioned the High Court of Justice demanding that it order the GSS to refrain from using shackling as an interrogation tool and, particularly, to refrain from shackling interrogees in degrading positions or in positions that cause pain, suffering, or that constitute torture.
