Israel subjecting Palestinian detainees to torture and abuse: UN report

Israeli forces have released 15 Palestinian prisoners into Gaza. They were dropped off at a military checkpoint near Deir al Balah in central Gaza. Many spoke of abuse and torture while detained. Israel has detained thousands of Palestinians during the war in Gaza and stands accused of numerous cases of torture, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights says in a new report. The 23-page report, released on Wednesday, noted allegations of widespread abuse of prisoners being held incommunicado in arbitrary, prolonged detention. It was published during a tense standoff in Israel as far-right politicians and demonstrators opposed an investigation into alleged sexual abuse of detainees by soldiers.
