HeadlineFeb 20, 2025

On Wednesday, Israel’s military said it had indicted five reservists accused of torturing a Palestinian prisoner at the notorious Sde Teiman military base. The Association for Civil Rights in Israel reports prisoners there have routinely suffered sexual assault, beatings from guards, maulings from attack dogs, and are often made to sit on the ground, blindfolded and handcuffed, 24 hours a day, forbidden from moving or speaking.
