14 Ways to Torture Palestinians Detainees

The ISA interrogation system is significantly aided by the HCJ, which serves a rubber stamp on orders which regulate the isolation of the interogees from the outside world.

" The HCJ did not accept even one of the hundreds of petitions brought before it against such orders."

clipped from www.islamonline.net CAIRO — Torture of thousands of Palestinian detainees in Israeli jails is an entrenched part of the system and there is a devised list of 14 ways to do that, two Israeli human rights groups concluded in a joint report released on Sunday, May 6. "It can be stated that the Shin Bet's routine interrogation policy mostly includes violating the prisoners' human rights and the use of measures aimed at breaking their spirit and obtaining information from them against their free will," the report read. The report says torture does not take place in a void, but rather with the blessing of the Israeli system. This includes beatings, forcing detainees into a "frog" crouch on their tiptoes and bending them backwards in a "banana position" while they were seated on a backless chair. There are nearly 11,000 Palestinians held in Israeli jails and detention centers, including at least 126 women and 450 minors. The groups accused the Israeli High Court of Justice (HCJ) of being part of the corrupt system.
