The Committee to Protect Journalists reports dozens of Palestinian media workers held in Israeli prisons since October 2023 have been beaten, starved and subjected to rape and other sexual violence. The committee reviewed testimony and evidence from 59 Palestinian journalists, finding “strikingly consistent” reports of physical assaults, forced stress positions, sensory deprivation, sexual violence and medical neglect. The journalists lost an average of 52 pounds in Israeli prisons. Most of them were held under Israel’s so-called administrative detention policy and were never charged with any crime.
