Abu Safia, a Gaza doctor held in Israeli custody for nearly two years, remains subject to abuse inside prison, his lawyer told Al Jazeera English. The detainee has not been released despite the extended period in custody, with allegations of mistreatment persisting throughout his confinement.
Safia's legal representative described ongoing torture as a defining feature of his imprisonment, pointing to a pattern of abuse within the facility. The claims add to growing documentation by human rights organizations of conditions facing Palestinian detainees held by Israeli authorities. Safia's case has drawn attention from international observers monitoring detention practices in the region.
