Human rights group report that civilians have been brought in to watch and film Palestinian men getting tortured in Israeli detention centers.

The Israeli army brought groups of Israeli civilians into prisons to watch Palestinian prisoners getting tortured, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor revealed on Monday.

Palestinian detainees released from two Israeli detention centres told the human rights group that they were stripped naked, beaten with metal batons and electric sticks, and verbally brutalised under the watch of civilian visitors.

The visitors came to watch the torture sessions in groups of “ten to twenty”, seemingly organised by the Israeli army. In many cases, they were allowed to film the torture sessions on their phones.

“This is the first time that these illegal practices have come to the attention of Euro-Med Monitor,” the monitor stated. “It adds a new crime to the list of those committed by the Israeli army against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and specifically against prisoners and detainees who are subjected to cruel torture, enforced disappearances, arbitrary arrests, and denials of a fair trial, among other atrocities.”

    What the actual fuck? The army is putting on live torture shows for the public? I didn’t think there was anything left that could surprise me, but this is next level evil.

    “The Israeli army brought a number of Israeli civilians into our detention centres while beating us and telling them, ‘These are Hamas terrorists who killed you and raped your women on 7 October,’” Omar Abu Mudallala, a Palestinian man who was held for 53 days in these centres, told Euro-Med. He added: “The Israeli civilians were filming us being beaten, abused, and tortured while making fun of us.”
