Human Rights Lawyer: Palestinians Face “Severe Torture” In Israeli Prisons

On October 13, as part of a Gaza ceasefire deal that saw the release of surviving Israeli hostages, nearly 2,000 Palestinians were released from Israeli prisons. Who are these Palestinians? Why were they detained? Michel Martin poses these questions to Sarah Leah Whitson, Executive Director, Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN). This conversation contains content that some may find distressing.
