Injustice Behind Bars: Palestinian Teens' Ordeal in Israeli Prisons

Palestinian teens held in Israeli prisons have shared their experiences of abuse and mistreatment, including being beaten, starved, and denied medical care. Many of these teens are held in administrative detention without being charged with any crime. During a recent truce between Israel and Hamas, some Palestinian prisoners were released, but the conditions they endured in prison continue to haunt them. Around 7,000 Palestinians are currently being held in Israeli prisons, according to a Palestinian NGO.

Inside Israeli Jails: Young Palestinians Speak Out on Harsh Treatment

Young Palestinian prisoners who were released from Israeli jails during a temporary ceasefire in the Gaza war have described harsh treatment and deprivation during their time in custody. Many of the prisoners, including women and teenagers, were held without charge or trial under Israel's practice of administrative detention. They were subjected to overcrowding, rationing of food and water, and physical and psychological mistreatment. The conditions worsened after the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, with prisoners being denied basic comforts and sometimes even water. Israeli prison authorities deny the allegations of mistreatment and claim that prisoners have the right to file complaints that will be examined by official authorities.

Palestinian Prisoners' Stories: Abuse, Release, and Hope

Mohammad Salhab Tamimi, an 18-year-old Palestinian boy, has been released from Israeli prisons after eight months without being charged or processed.

Israel's Detention of Palestinian Prisoners: A Costly and Controversial Reality

Israel holds thousands of Palestinian prisoners, many of whom are subjected to abuse and held without charge or trial under a process known as administrative detention. The majority of these prisoners, including children, are tried in military courts where they are often deprived of defense lawyers and due process. Israel's military judicial system in the occupied territories has been criticized for its discriminatory practices, creating a two-tier legal system. Palestinian prisoners have reported beatings, torture, and restricted access to basic necessities in Israeli prisons. Children are also subjected to abuse, with a high percentage experiencing beatings, strip-searches, and injuries during their arrests.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the government's intention to deport those involved in the riots.

Palestinian activist dies in Israeli prison after lengthy hunger strike.

Palestinian Khader Adnan, who was affiliated with the Palestinian militant Islamic Jihad group, has died in an Israeli prison after an 87-day hunger strike. Adnan had been detained by Israel 12 times, spending around eight years in prison, mostly under administrative detention. Israel is holding over 1,000 Palestinian detainees without charge or trial, the highest number since 2003, according to the Israeli human rights group HaMoked. The government says the controversial tactic helps authorities thwart attacks and hold dangerous militants without divulging incriminating material for security reasons. Palestinians and rights groups say the system is widely abused and denies due process.
