Israel Accused of Mistreating Palestinian Prisoners
---------------------------------------------------



Human rights groups are accusing Israel of mistreating Palestinian
prisoners during the twenty-two-day attack on Gaza.

Bana Shoughry-Badarne, lawyer of the Public Committee Against Torture:
“We demand an in-depth, impartial, independent and comprehensive
investigation to the conditions in which people from Gaza were held,
were detained, inhumanely and in a way—the degrading way and humiliating
way. We demand this investigation to be held immediately, and we want to
hear the result.”
