31 Jul 2024 <\/em>– A new report has been released from the UN Human Rights department detailing the arbitrary detention of thousands of Palestinians and subsequent abuse, humiliation, torture, and prolonged incommunicado sentences.<\/p>\n

The 23-page report documents mass detentions of Palestinians by Israeli forces and their torture and mistreatment, including sexual abuse and the deaths of detainees while in Israeli custody. In addition, it includes information regarding hostages held by Palestinian armed groups, detentions by the Palestinian authority, and a legal analysis of the current situation.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it explores the case of more than 10,000 permitted Gazan workers who were taken into Israeli custody in the days following October 7, 2023, despite their presence in Israel having been completely lawful. While many of these workers were released, although tagged with ID numbers<\/a>, around 1,000 of them are still unaccounted for.<\/p>\n

The large number of Palestinians \u2013 men, women, children, doctors, journalists, human rights defenders \u2013 detained since 7 October, most of them without charges or trial and in conditions that raise concerns of the abuse of administrative detention, along with reports of torture and other ill-treatment and violation of due process, raises serious concerns regarding the arbitrariness and punitive nature of such arrests and detention. Many of those detained and subsequently released have reported being subject to forms of torture or other ill-treatment, including severe beatings, electrocution, being forced to remain in stress positions for prolonged periods, or waterboarding. At least 53 detainees from Gaza and the West Bank have died in Israeli detention since 7 October.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
