Israeli mistreatment of Palestinian prisoners exposed: Harsh conditions and controversial detention practices

Mohammed Nazal, an 18-year-old Palestinian, has exposed the mistreatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons. After being released as part of a truce agreement with Hamas, Nazal described being beaten and denied medical assistance. Israeli officials attempted to discredit his account, but his testimonies and medical records have been verified, providing further evidence of the brutal mistreatment Palestinians endure in Israeli prisons. This mistreatment has worsened since the Israel-Hamas war began. Practices in Israeli prisons have been well-documented, and Nazal's medical records and X-rays confirm his injuries. Israeli prisons have also implemented measures such as restricting access to water, food, and medical care, as well as limiting family and lawyer visits.
