Compiled by RootFolksWritersPoetsArtists Accusations Of Torture Unleashed Inside Israeli Prisons Since Oct. 7, 2023 October 11, 2025 Ofer Prison Israel In brief: “According to human rights groups, the Israeli state is openly violating international law, particularly the UN Convention against Torture and the Fourth Geneva Convention, which require the protection of civilians under occupation. Even more serious, according to B’Tselem (The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories), is the attitude of the Israeli Supreme Court, which has chosen to look away, allowing the prisons to become lawless zones. […] For the organization, this is not a side effect of war but the logical continuation of a system of domination over the Palestinians: arbitrary arrests, inhumane conditions, and collective punishment meant to keep an entire people subdued and terrified. At present, there are 10,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, nearly 4,000 of them held in administrative detention, meaning without charge or trial, based on secret evidence that neither they nor their lawyers are allowed to see. Among them are 400 minors arrested during mass operations in the occupied territories, children systematically tried in military courts.” https://worldcrunch.com/in-the-news/accusations-of-torture-unleashed-inside-israeli-prisons-since-oct-7/ The Israeli Prison System as a Network of Torture Camps: Welcome To Hell Israel August 2024 In brief: “’Welcome to Hell’ is a report on the abuse and inhuman treatment of Palestinians held in Israeli custody since 7 October 2023. B’Tselem (The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories) collected testimonies from 55 Palestinians held during that time and released, almost all with no charges. Their testimonies reveal the outcomes of the rushed transformation of more than a dozen Israeli prison facilities, military and civilian, into a network of camps dedicated to the abuse of inmates as a matter of policy. Facilities in which every inmate is deliberately subjected to harsh, relentless pain and suffering operate as de-facto torture camps.” https://www.btselem.org/publications/202408_welcome_to_hell
