Is Israel torturing Palestinians in the secret jails?
The UN demand the access to the secret Israeli 'torture' jail: http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=93654§ionid=351020202
'The committee said it had received reports according to which "Palestinian detainees are subjected by Israeli security officials to acts in violation" of the anti-torture convention, including beatings, sleep deprivations and sharp twisting of the head. According to reports, Palestinian detainees were kept in solitary confinement in cells that ranged from 3 to 6 square meters with no windows or access to daylight or fresh air. '
'Several reports from at least eight NGOs, including B'Tselem, Hamoked Center for the Defense of the Individual, Physicians for Human Rights and Amnesty International, have been received this year by the committee over Israeli violations of the UN Convention Against Torture.'

Falestini, this is the sad reality.
You forgot to mention an important fact. - "Torture in Israel, in IDF jail cells and prison, is legal."
Israel is the only country on earth that has legalized torture and not condemned it.
The Israeli Human Rights Center reports that minors under the age of 16 are held as custody in Israeli jails. See ~ http://www.btselem.org/English/Statistics/Minors_in_Custody.asp
Over 10 000 Palestinians are in Israeli jails and why? If Hamas is only 20 000 people and over 90% of them are out there !?
The fact is that, the prisoners in Israeli jail are innocent Palestinian Moslims, Palestinian Christians, Neterui Karta Jews, and Shministim.
I know, I am no reliable source. But from my own personal experience, I will tell you that my father spent 40 days in jail. He had to undergo torture, different torture methods because they wanted him to blurt out something.
My father saw kids as young as 12 years old. He saw innocent Palestinians praying, innocent Christians and innocent Muslims. Males and females. Under constant torture. I only have one thing to say.
Israeli jail cells are as black as their hearts.
'Judge a dog by it's owner.'
P.S. The constitution must recognize the right of Palestinians to have a fair trial and ... Hold on a minute? What constitution?
My father never had a trial, he was driven out of his home and land like a dog, and thrown out of prison like a dog in front of my eyes, as me and my siblings had to witness the horror.
Isnichmad - Don't deny it. Many are held without trial, there is no one to fight for their rights. The UN can only 'condemn'. I can list you examples from today till tomorrow, even from your own newspapers.
Just look at the source, aljazeera. They set up shots to suit their own purposes. The same "dead" person can appear in several different places. They set up situations just waiting for their favorite news medium -- aljazeera. Israel has agreed to every peace plan ever submitted. The Palestinians have agreed to NONE. What kind of people raise their children to become suicide bombers and send them into hotels, shopping areas, hospitals or anyplace else where they can find large crowds of innocent people? What kind of a mother would blow herself up while carrying a precious child? What kind of people use all the international aid they receive to buy munitions instead of building an infrastructure? Why are the Palestinians Israel's problem? Why aren't they allowed to immigrate to any of the surrounding Arab countries? Israel didn't want the Gaza strip and tried to return it to Egypt -- why did Egypt refuse it? Why doesn't Jordan take more responsibility for the West Bank? Why don't the surrounding *Arab* countries take more responsiblity for a peaceful settlement instead of supplying arms/munitions? .
Yes, here are but a few of MANY links-the one by Gideon Levy, an former IDF soldier is PARTICULARLY eyeopening :
A link on the Israeli security services, Shin Bet, condoning moderate level torture:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/...
http://www.wrmea.com/backissues/1193/931...
"Dayan, daughter of the late Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, said torture "has become the norm for Arab security prisoners." She estimated that more than half of the Palestinians tortured during interrogation, a period when they are denied access to the courts, are in fact never charged with a crime at all."
The following is a story by Gideon Levy, an IDF soldier whom finished his duty, admits the IDF turned him into a sadistic animal, only realizing this after he left the service and regrets how inhuman he had become-A REAL EYE OPENER ON THE IDF.

Listen to the IDF soldiers whom formed the "Break the Silence" PEACE group, speaking AGAINST atrocities if the Israeli army-bless their truly human hearts:

Yes, the torture jails are hidden underground and the only way to get in is blocked by a huge stone. You can move the stone by saying this password > sim sim salabim.
