Hussam Abu Safiya, a Palestinian doctor, has told his lawyer that Israeli prison guards are still beating him while in detention, Middle East Eye reported. The allegations emerged through communication between Abu Safiya and his legal representative while he remains held in Israeli custody.
Physicians for Human Rights, which is monitoring his case, received the account of the ongoing abuse. The doctor's claims add to a broader pattern of documented allegations concerning treatment of detainees held by Israeli authorities during the current conflict. Abu Safiya's statement marks a continuation of reported mistreatment since his detention began.
