‘Physical and psychological torture was the highlight last two years’ : Mohammad Dahleh

Mohammad Dahleh, a human rights lawyer, says “the motive for revenge” among the Israeli society was strong after the October 7, 2023 attack, and the country’s prison authority acted with the same motive towards inmates.

He said the Israeli prison system started beating and torturing prisoners right after the attack.

“They also prevented prisoners from sleeping and worshipping,” Dahleh told Al Jazeera from the occupied East Jerusalem, adding that many prisoners were deprived of medical treatment, which led to deaths in jails.

“The physical and psychological torture was the highlight of this period,” the lawyer stressed.

He said the prison authority played a role in dominating and controlling the lives of the Palestinians, including those not jailed.

There is almost nobody, who lives in the Palestinian Territories, who was not affected by the prison authority’s actions themselves or through their loved ones, he concluded.
