TortureForSecurityThis report examines the torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of Palestinians in Israeli custody during the first four years (1988 through May 1992) of the first intifada. During this period, there were a large number of credible reports of torture, many of which provide evidence for the systematic and institutionalised use of torture both to intimidate and extract information. It addresses the international human rights and humanitarian legal framework, the legal definition of torture, and Israeli use of the practice and security rationale.
