UN Palestinian Rights Committee 69d ago

Francesca Albanese says the Palestinian people today are suffering whether in detention, under bombardment in Gaza, "terrorized by armed criminals in uniform, or settler squads" in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and argues that this cannot be understood outside its historical context. She says that “from the earliest years of the state of Israel, depriving Palestinians of all their rights and freedoms has been a central instrument of Israel’s domination,” and adds that since October 2023, “torture has effectively become state policy,” upheld by “a torturous culture that is socially produced, politically defended, and publicly normalized.” Read the report here: https://www.un.org/unispal/document/torture-and-genocide-report-francesca-albanese-a-hrc-61-71/
