Ramallah, Palestine - The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) and the Commission of Detainees Affairs released a new report detailing severe torture and abuse by occupation soldiers against Palestinians detained from Gaza, including burning them with boiling water and urinating on them.

This report is based on the testimonies of 23 detainees, gathered during visits to the prisoners by the lawyers of the Commission of Detainees Affairs. The visits took place between January 6-8, 2025, at the Naqab (Negev) prison and the Naftali military detention camp.

The testimonies reveal shocking details about the systematic torture that Palestinian detainees are being subject to across all prisons. While the Sdei Teiman military detention camp received the largest share of media attention due to the gang-rape that took place there, it is imperative to note that similar practices are taking place across many other prisons.

Occupation authorities also recently released a video from Rakefet prison, which is located underground in the Ramla prison. It is one of several prisons restored by the occupation after the genocide to hold Palestinians from Gaza.

*The detainees’ identities have been kept anonymous to protect against retaliation by prison authorities.
