Rights groups report widespread sexual violence against Palestinians in Israeli prisons
One-third of the 21 detainees who spoke to the Israeli NGO B'Tselem after their release said they had been subjected to violence, including forced undressing, blows to the genitals, and anal penetration. Other NGOs and UN agencies have reported similar accounts. Israel has denied any systematic mistreatment.
