West Bankers demand end of prison mistreatment

This came amid backlash over severe abuse and sexual assault of Palestinian detainees by nine Israeli soldiers. 

A report by the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees released earlier this year stated that detainees said they were subjected to mistreatment and abuse while in Israeli custody.
