Tel Aviv, February 27 (RHC)-- A new report by two Israeli human rights groups accuses the Israeli Shin Bet security agency of abusing dozens of Palestinian prisoners at the Shikma interrogation facility.
The report, issued by the groups B'Tselem and HaMoked, says Palestinian prisoners are exposed to extreme heat or cold, deprived of sleep and denied sufficient food.
According to the study: "The combination of conditions both in and outside the interrogation room constitutes abuse and inhuman, degrading treatment, at times even amounting to torture."
