Israel is committing crimes against humanity by torturing Palestinian detainees, prisoners rights group Addameer suggested in a recent report.

Israel’s denial of fair trials to prisoners may also constitute war crimes, the group stated.

Detainees included women, university students, union workers, human rights defenders and Palestinians lawmakers.

The court renewed the order twice after that, until it expired on 7 December.
