UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese said that Israel systematically tortures Palestinians on a scale “indicative of collective vengeance and destructive intent,” according to a report released to the media on Friday.
The report, titled “Torture and Genocide,” examines Israel’s systematic use of torture against Palestinians from the occupied Palestinian territories since October 7.
The report states: “Brutal beatings, sexual violence and rape, lethal mistreatment, starvation, and the systematic deprivation of basic human conditions have left deep and lasting scars on the bodies and minds of tens of thousands of Palestinians and their loved ones.”
