Backed by the System: Abuse and Torture at the Shikma Interrogation Facility

Backed by the System: Abuse and Torture at the Shikma Interrogation Facility (B'Tselem and HaMoked)

"This report details the conditions in which inmates are held and interrogated, based on affidavits and witness accounts provided by 116 Palestinians held for security reasons and interrogated at the Shikma facility from August 2013 to March 2014. Nearly every single detainee was exposed to some or all of these measures; about one-third had been beaten or abused by soldiers or police officers in the course of being arrested; at least 14 were interrogated under torture by the Palestinian Authority shortly before being arrested by Israeli security forces."
