Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) said Monday July 29th, 2024 that they ar concerned about abusing Palestinian prisoners at the Sde Teiman detention facility after months of raising warnings.
They stated that the Sde Teiman torture facility must be shut down immediately, abuse across all prisons must end, and those responsible must be prosecuted.
The advocacy group said this action demonstrates that Israel’s military cannot ignore crimes committed by soldiers against Palestinians in their custody, which include severe violence and sexual abuse.
On Monday, the Israeli military announced the detention of nine soldiers for questioning at the Sde Teiman facility in a rare move of holding Israeli soldiers accountable for possible crimes.
“Mounting testimonies indicate these incidents are not isolated. They suggest systematic abuse and violence, with a blind eye turned to violations,” PHRI stated on social media.
Sde Teiman torture prison was established to hold Palestinians taken from Gaza since the beginning of Israel’s war.
