Israel's top court to discuss closure of Palestinian detention camp
5 June 2024 08:57 BST
Israel's top court discussed on Wednesday the closure of the desert detention camp of Sde Teiman, where arrested Palestinians from Gaza were taken and allegedly held under conditions of severe abuse.
The hearings comes in response to a petition filed by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) and other human rights groups.
A CNN investigation last month had former Palestinian detainees and Israeli whistleblowers describe "horrific conditions at the facility, including continuous blindfolding and handcuffing".
The report raised international concern over Israel's treatment of detainees from Gaza and calls from independent investigations.
