Contesto
Former Palestinian detainees have come forward with harrowing accounts of systematic torture and sexual violence they endured while held in Israeli detention centres, according to a new report. The allegations, detailed by multiple ex-prisoners, paint a grim picture of abuse that they say occurred during their incarceration. The accounts, which have been published by Al Jazeera, describe a pattern of physical and psychological mistreatment that victims claim was widespread and deliberate.

These allegations come amid a broader context of heightened tensions in the region. Since the outbreak of the current conflict in Gaza, Israeli authorities have detained thousands of Palestinians, many of whom are held under administrative detention without charge or trial.
