Israeli forces' issuing degrading images, videos of detained Palestinians, alleges HRW
Human Rights Watch has claimed that Israeli forces are publishing degrading pictures and videos of Palestinians, including children, who are being detained by them.
The HRW says this approach is considered a war crime.
Photographs and videos show that scores of the detainees have been forcibly stripped of their clothing, sometimes fully, prior to the grabbing of these images or video recordings.
The group claimed that these images have been published by Israeli soldiers, media outlets, or activists.
The act of forced nudity, coupled with the sharing it on social media is sexual violence and qualifies as a war crime, the group added.
Balkees Jarrah, the acting Middle East director at Human Rights Watch, claimed that “Israeli authorities have for months turned a blind eye as members of their military published dehumanizing fully or seminude images and videos of Palestinians in their custody.”
“Senior officials and military commanders can be held criminally responsible for ordering these crimes, or for failing to prevent or punish them, including at the International Criminal Court.”
