Rights lawyer Khaled Zbarqah warned that Israeli occupation authorities are conducting systematic reprisal attacks and escalation against Palestinian prisoners held in detention facilities, Shehab Wire reported. Zbarqah, a legal specialist in prisoner affairs, said the Israeli judicial system has effectively legalized torture of detainees through its rulings and procedures.
International silence on violations has emboldened occupation forces to intensify abuses against inmates, according to the human rights advocate. He characterized the treatment as a coordinated campaign of revenge targeting Palestinians held in Israeli prisons, describing it as part of a broader pattern of systematic mistreatment within the carceral system.
