Local Editor

The Palestine prisoners center for studies charged the "Israeli" occupation authority with practicing systematic torture against Palestinian prisoners with full authorization by the judicial system.
It said in a statement on Tuesday that the general committee against torture received 900 complaints from liberated prisoners over the past few years detailing their torture at the hands of "Israeli" jailers, who were not prosecuted or interrogated about such practice.

It also charged the "Israeli" judiciary with complicity as none of the interrogators was investigated over the use of cruel interrogation means.
The center, in a report on the occasion of the international day against torture, said that the "Israeli" army was legalizing torture without any humanitarian consideration.

It said that the practice led to the martyrdom of 71 prisoners the latest being Arafat Jaradat from Al-Khalil.
