Palestinians detail sexual abuse in Israeli prisons to BBC, revealing alleged physical and sexual assaults, including rape, conducted by guards against detainees like Sami al-Saei and "Ahmed." Reports suggest a culture of abuse within Israeli detention facilities, exacerbated by recent events like Hamas-led attacks. The UN Committee against Torture has condemned such practices, with allegations of abuse not limited to Israeli prisons but extending to facilities under the Palestinian Authority's control as well.
