Palestinian Prisoners Dying in Custody: PHRI Report

PHRI Report: Systematic Violence and Neglect Lead to Deaths of Palestinian PrisonersA human rights group, Physicians for Human Rights – Israel (PHRI), has released a report alleging that at least ninety-eight Palestinian prisoners have died in Israeli custody over the past two years due to systematic violence and lack of medical care. The report, based on data from Israeli authorities, lawyers, relatives, and witnesses, suggests that the true number of deaths may be much higher. The Israeli military denies these allegations, stating they act according to local and international law. The report highlights the harsh conditions at the Sde Teiman detention center and the recent leak of a video showing a Palestinian prisoner being beaten. PHRI concludes that the deaths were likely the result of systematic actions by soldiers and prison guards, with the approval of their superiors. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
