UN Human Rights - Palestine's documentation indicates widespread and systematic torture and ill-treatment against Palestinian detainees in Israeli custody.
Patterns of torture and ill-treatment have also been documented against Palestinian detainees in the custody of Palestinian security forces. There are also concerns about reports of torture and ill-treatment at the hands of de facto authorities, armed groups and other armed elements in Gaza.
Human dignity is an inalienable right. The prohibition of torture is absolute regardless of the identity of the victim or the perpetrator. Justice for victims is a right, not a privilege.
