’Israeli’ Torture of Palestinian Detainees Sharply Rises
Local Editor
A new report has revealed a sharp increase in the torture of Palestinian inmates at the hands of the interrogators of the notorious "Israeli" spying service Shin Bet in the second half of 2014.
The information, which was collected from "Israeli" military courts and a group called the Public Committee Against Torture in "Israel", points to the common use of such torture tactics such as sleep deprivation, beatings, shaking and tying detainees in pressure positions for extended periods, the report said.
According to the daily, in some cases torture by Shin Bet interrogators has forced suspects to give false confessions under duress and admit to crimes they never committed.
In one of the many cases, a Palestinian, who was detained on suspicion of capturing and killing three Zionist settlers in June 2014, was tortured into falsely admitting to involvement in the incident.
Shin Bet has an established history of illegally torturing thousands of Palestinians, a practice that is authorized by "Israeli" law, allowing the exertion of physical pressure on suspects in the case of "urgent need," a circumstance defined by the "Israeli" attorney general but kept secret from the public.
The report also cites military court authorities with access to Shin Bet torture documents to describe some of the "less brutal" torture methods used against Palestinian detainees.
They include blindfolding a suspect for extended periods to induce a loss of orientation with several agents standing around him, shouting into his ears for several hours.
Tel Aviv is already under fire over its cruel treatment of Palestinian prisoners. Thousands of Palestinians are languishing in "Israeli" jails without trial for extended periods of time.
Reports say around 7,000 Palestinians are held in "Israeli" jails, many of them without charge or trial.
