“There are multiple reports of extreme #torture and ill treatment. This is the Israeli Guantánamo, with all of the issues connected to forced disappearances.” Tal Steiner from Public Committee Against Torture in #Israel on condition of detention after multiplication of detentions without charge https://stoptorture.org.il/en/
"Adnan Al-Bursh was the head of the orthopedic wing at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. During the war, he had to wander from one hospital to the next, as they were all destroyed by the IDF. He has not been back to his home in Jabalya since the start of the war, and last December all trace of him disappeared. Recently, it transpired that he had died in an Israeli jail, apparently due to the torture of beatings during interrogation"
New from Gideon Levy
Israel's treatment of Palestinian prisoners in this camp is torture. There is no excuse.
' [This] rare testimony from Israelis working at the facility sheds further light on Israel’s conduct as it wages war in Gaza, with fresh allegations of mistreatment. It also casts more doubt on the Israeli government’s repeated assertions that it acts in accordance with accepted international practices and law.

"“We are horrified at details emerging from mass graves recently unearthed in the #Gaza Strip. Over 390 bodies have been discovered at Nasser and Al Shifa #hospitals, including of #women and #children, with many reportedly showing signs of #torture and summary executions, and potential instances of people buried alive,” the experts said.
Even the BBC is increasing its pejorative reports on Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. Israel currently holds more than 9,300 security prisoners, the vast majority of whom are Palestinians according to the Israeli rights group HaMoked, including more than 3,600 people in administrative detention. The headline belies the severe beatings and torture.
An opinion piece published yesterday in the #BillingsGazette explores #CodyRoberts ' #torture of a young female #wolf in Daniel, #Wyoming. By now, most of you have heard the news or seen the disturbing photos and videos. We remain disgusted by the #cruelty, as does our partner and op-ed author #JeffEwelt.
In his op-ed, Jeff Ewelt, the Executive Director of #ZooMontana and a partner of The #RelistWolves Campaign,
"For years, #ForensicArchitecture has exposed #StateCrimes against civilians, nature, and humanity. [..] Ash Sarkar meets FA's director #EyalWeizman, to discuss #Israel's settler colonial project, the police killing of #MarkDuggan, and how the testimony of blindfolded #torture victims helped construct a model of Bashar al-#Assad's most notorious torture prison."
So, after hours of waiting, the Wyoming Game Commission cut comments about the #CodyRoberts#Wolf#torture off at the 2-hour mark, and many of us didn't get the opportunity to speak.
Here are my remarks. Please feel free to share this broadly or excerpt it as you see fit.
