Content warning: distressing description of torture Israel didn’t just humiliate these activists - it showed the world a glimpse of its detention regime. Nobody should be fooled: Ben-Gvir is not a bad apple – he is a product of an apartheid system. The UN's Special Rapporteur on torture has just documented widespread, systematic abuse of Palestinian detainees. The Special Rapporteur counted numerous incidents of torture and sexual violence, including, in her own words, 'mauling by dogs of their genitals.' Palestinian detainees continue to face horrendous and systematic torture condoned not by one rogue minister, but from the top of Israeli politics. If the UK government is genuinely appalled, it must: - End all trade contributing to Israel's ongoing genocide, apartheid and unlawful occupation - Enforce an immediate ban on all weapons transfers, military assistance and the import of goods from illegal settlements. Israel's impunity can no longer be tolerated.
