Israel abuses prisoners: HRs groups
By: Ahmed Hammadi
HELD JERUSALEM: In a report published on Sunday, two Israeli human
rights groups have accused the security services of routinely
mistreating Palestinian detainees.
The groups said detainees were held in appalling conditions, and were
sometimes tortured. They said the maltreatment was intended to "break
the spirit" of those who were being interrogated.
Israel's justice ministry rejected the report as unrepresentative
and inaccurate.
The report lists a number of techniques the two groups, B'Tselem and
the HaMoked Centre for the Defense of the Individual, say are deployed
by the Israeli Security Agency.
They range from preventing detainees from contacting their lawyers, to
painful shackling to a chair, threats and intimidation, beating and
sleep deprivation.
