Five Israeli Soldiers Indicted for Torturing Palestinian Prisoner at Military Base
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Wednesday, Israel's military said it had indicted five reservists
accused of torturing a Palestinian prisoner at the notorious Sde Teiman
military base. The Association for Civil Rights in Israel reports
prisoners there have routinely suffered sexual assault, beatings from
guards, maulings from attack dogs, and are often made to sit on the
ground, blindfolded and handcuffed, 24 hours a day, forbidden from
moving or speaking.
