In a statement, the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs cited testimonies of Palestinian detainees about their bad conditions in the detention camp.

The statement, reported by the official Palestinian news agency Wafa, was issued by the Palestinian Prisoner Society, the Prisoners Affairs Commission, and the Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association to mark the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearance on Aug. 30.

Local sources reported that the detainees arrived at the Gaza European Hospital after being released through the Kerem Shalom crossing in the southern Gaza Strip.

“The general conditions in Israeli prisons remain difficult and complex. They are getting worse,” the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs said in a statement.

According to Israel’s Army Radio, ten soldiers were detained for questioning as part of an investigation into the gang rape of a Palestinian detainee from Gaza in the Sde Teiman Prison in southern Israel.

“Prisoners are subjected to beatings during arrest and in detention,” the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs said in a statement.

The Commission said in a statement that her lawyer was able to visit a number of detainees who confirmed the tragic situation inside the detention center.
