An individual who was held at the Sde Teiman detention facility has submitted a legal complaint alleging physical and psychological mistreatment by Israeli guards, according to an investigative report published by the Nziv news website. The report includes detailed testimony of alleged beatings and humiliation during detention.
Nziv published an investigative report on Friday detailing allegations of abuse at the Sde Teiman detention facility. The complainant, a former detainee, filed a criminal complaint and gave a sworn testimony describing beatings, verbal humiliation, and prolonged harsh conditions while in the custody of the Israel Prison Service. The report cites the complainant's testimony but does not include a response from the IPS or the Ministry of Justice. The allegations have not been corroborated by a second source. Sde Teiman, a military detention center in the Negev, has been under scrutiny in recent years over conditions for Palestinian detainees, though this is the first such detailed complaint published by Nziv.
