In concurrence with increased punitive measures in the occupied West Bank, the Israeli occupation has also escalated its brutal practices against Palestinian detainees, including Palestinian leaders.
The Commission of Detainees Affairs reported that the repressive measures taken by the Israeli occupation against Palestinian prisoners have been increased, to turn their lives into unbearable hell.
