Violations against Palestinian Prisoners 2014

This report examines the violations committed by the Israeli occupation forces and the Israeli Prison Services (IPS) against Palestinians prisoners and detainees throughout the different stages of their arrest and detention in 2014. The violations of prisoners’ rights report follows a rights-based, descriptive, and analytical methodology. It is based on 100 affidavits of prisoners and detainees, given to Addameer attorneys in 2014. Violations committed against prisoners, detainees, and their family members were primarily described and analyzed in light of the principles of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and International Human Rights Law (IHRL). This serves as the theoretical framework addressing the rights and treatment of prisoners, in addition to the international law framework in approaching violations committed against them.
