13-05-30 Israel: New data on unlawful solitary confinement

Haaretz in Hebrew reports on serious new findings, relative to the use of long term solitary confinement (which by international standards is considered torture):

  •  A prisoner was chained to bed for half a year.
  • More than 100 prisoners admittedly are in long term solitary confinement
  • 10 of them are minors, who for months do not see a living soul, except for wardens, who serve them food through a door window.
  • So far the record was 24 years in solitary confinement.
