"Israeli" medics abet prisoner abuse
Source: alalam.ir, 26-06-2008
AL-QUDS-'Israel's' Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) group accused the 'Israeli' regime's doctors on Thursday of turning a blind eye to the torture of Palestinian detainees during interrogations.
The findings were based on testimony from two Palestinians who developed trauma-related symptoms, such as weak hearing, panic attacks and incontinence during and after their detention, the PHR said in a statement.
Palestinian prisoners undergo medical examinations before, during and after their interrogation, but doctors in detention facilities fail to report such symptoms, making them complicit in "prisoner torture", the group said.
PHR Executive Director Hadas Ziv told Reuters her organization's findings were also based on reports by other 'Israeli' human rights groups.
Last year, two groups, B'Tselem and HaMoked, said they had found 'Israeli' security interrogators routinely mistreat and sometimes physically torture Palestinian detainees.
The PHR urged the Health Ministry in a letter to forbid doctors from participating in interrogations carried out by 'Israel's' internal security service, the Shin Bet.
The rights group said doctors working for the Shin Bet risked losing their jobs if they reported torture and urged the Health Ministry to protect them.
An 'Israeli' anti-torture watchdog also earlier said 'Israeli' soldiers routinely abuse bound Palestinian detainees and it accused the military of "absolute indifference" towards such mistreatment.
The Public Committee Against Torture in 'Israel' said its findings were based on 90 detailed accounts from Palestinians as well as from soldiers who witnessed the abuse and were concerned over the army's failure to stop it.
The report said soldiers were frequently violent towards Palestinian detainees, including minors, in many cases after they had been handcuffed and no longer posed a threat.
The PCATI describes itself as an independent human rights organization that monitors implementation of a 1999 'Israeli' Supreme Court ban on the use of torture during interrogation.
