Rights group: Israel intentionally leaks scenes of Palestinian prisoners’ torture
The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society said efforts to undermine the resolve of prisoners by broadcasting torture scenes will not succeed.
“The leaking of these photos and videos is a deliberate act by the current settler government, headed by the fascist Minister [of National Security Ben-Gvir], with the aim of boasting about torturing prisoners,” the rights group said in a statement.
It said the practice was “part of the competition between the ministers of the current government over who tortures and kills Palestinians more”.
“The other goal … is to influence the image of the Palestinian prisoner in the collective consciousness …, in addition to using them as an additional tool for intimidation operations and spreading terror among Palestinian citizens.”
