Lawyers have shed light on the inhumane treatment of Palestinian and Lebanese detainees being held in an underground Israeli jail.
In a series of shocking revelations, lawyers have described how these prisoners are subjected to prolonged isolation, denied access to medical care, and forced to endure harsh living conditions. The accounts paint a picture of a system designed to break the spirits of those held captive.
The conditions in which these detainees are being held have raised serious concerns about Israel's compliance with international humanitarian law. Lawyers claim that the Israeli authorities are using the prison as an effective tool for exerting pressure on Palestinian and Lebanese entities, while ignoring fundamental human rights norms.
The testimony from lawyers is based on several visits to the detention center, where they observed firsthand the deplorable conditions under which detainees were being held. The accounts detail a lack of access to basic necessities such as food, water, and sanitation, not to mention the absence of any meaningful opportunity for communication with their families.
Lawyers are also concerned about the complete disregard for medical care provided to detainees. Detainees have been denied adequate medical attention, resulting in severe health problems and even death.
Human rights organizations have long condemned Israel's treatment of Palestinian prisoners, calling it "collective punishment" that amounts to a grave breach of international law. The case described by lawyers highlights the urgent need for accountability from those responsible for the mistreatment of detainees.
Detainee advocates are demanding concrete steps be taken to address these issues and ensure that all parties involved in their detention β including Israeli authorities, Palestinian and Lebanese entities β hold themselves accountable to fundamental human rights norms.
