Israel Accused of Mistreating Palestinian Prisoners

HeadlineFeb 03, 2009

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.”
