A commemorative photo was taken featuring the members of the General Assembly of the Association of Detainees and Missing of Sednaya Prison during their first visit to the prison after its liberation. They all endured bitter years of suffering in its depths and darkness, witnessing firsthand the worst crimes committed by its administration and guards. They also lived through the infamous siege that occurred in 2008.

Palestinian Centre for Human Rights - PCHR@pchrgaza·
♦️The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) strongly condemns the escalation of settler attacks, the latest of which involved the burning of a mosque and a commercial facility over the past few days. This attack is part of a broader violence supported by the Israeli government across the West Bank. These two crimes are part of a wider strategy of violence carried out by settlers under the protection of the Israeli Occupation Forces. They represent a direct extension of the genocidal, ethnically cleansing, and apartheid policies imposed on Palestinians. These incidents are not isolated, but rather components of a systematic campaign aimed at displacing the indigenous population and forcibly subjugating the land.

Day 2 of our 3-Day Peer Support Training ✅ Today’s focus was on building practical skills — from active listening to understanding the role of empathy in survivor-led care. Participants worked in groups and supported one another in ways that reflect the essence of peer support.

Israeli forces weaponize gender in torture of Palestinians from #Gaza. DIGNITY’s Grant Shubin shows how gender roles are exploited — emasculating men, sexualizing women, and targeting reproductive health. dignity.dk/en/news/this-i…

Palestinian Centre for Human Rights - PCHR@pchrgaza

Denial of medical care by doctors to patients in need is a fundamental breach of the foundations of medical ethics and of international #HumanRights law. Yet in testimonies gathered by field researchers and members of the legal team at the Palestinian Centre for #HumanRights, multiple Palestinian former detainees arrested by #Israel between October 2023 and October 2024, reported denial of medical care by Israeli doctors. The report '#Torture and #Genocide' found that "[a]lthough detainees reported both acute (e.g., fractured bones after beatings) and chronic (e.g., diabetes) medical conditions, most were denied treatment or only given Acamol (Paracetamol). Some were not provided care despite symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, and difficulty breathing." In its ground-breaking report, PCHR analyses the systematic torture and other ill-treatment of Palestinians from Gaza as a component of Israel’s ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.

🇲🇽 Weaving threads of resistance in #Mexico In 2024, survivors of torture and family members came together for the first National Meeting of Victims of Torture, led by local organisations like CEPAD, Fundar, and the Red Nacional de Peritos, with OMCT’s support. Torture survivors and families shared their struggles with impunity, stigma, and repression — but also the roots of their resilience: family, community, faith, and collective action. 💬 “Despite the processes of pain, this document reflects the affection, solidarity and those threads woven to resist this path," – torture survivor and participant.

Palestinian Centre for Human Rights - PCHR@pchrgaza·
Field researchers and members of the legal team at the Palestinian Centre for #HumanRights interviewed 100 Palestinian former detainees arrested by Israel in #Gaza between October 2023 and 2024. The report 'Torture and Genocide' found that in addition to severe deprivation of food, detainees were subjected to violence and humiliating conditions related to access to food and water. Interviewees were forced to eat and/or drink while handcuffed and/or blindfolded. Some detainees were kicked, punched, or beaten with sticks for asking for food and/or water. Soldiers would place food and snacks in front of detainees which they could not reach while laughing and insulting them, or even eating in front of the hungry detainees.
