Shocking testimonies about the torture of detainees in Gaza: Forced to drink alcohol and hot water poured on them

SadaNews: The Commission of Prisoners and Released Prisoners and the Palestinian Prisoner Club published today, Thursday, new testimonies from a group of detainees from the Gaza Strip who were visited during July 2025. These testimonies once again reflected the unprecedented level of crimes they were subjected to during their arrest and interrogation, in addition to their current detention conditions, and what they face in terms of medical crimes, systematic starvation, and continuous deprivation and plunder inside prisons and camps. The legal teams obtained these succinct testimonies during visits to the prisons: Negev, Ofer, Sidai Taiman, and the Maskobiya.

Once again, these ongoing testimonies confirm that they represent part of hundreds of accounts documented by Gaza detainees, who have been subjected to torture, abuse, and humiliation, including sexual assaults, which resulted in the martyrdom of dozens, while others remain subjected to enforced disappearance.

One testimony included prison guards pouring hot water on the body of one of the detainees, and another spoke of detainees being forced to strip off their clothes and being brutally beaten.

A detainee also reported being forced to drink alcohol, while another experienced psychological torture that prompted him to attempt suicide after being informed by the interrogator of the martyrdom of his family members, only to find out during his visit that his family was fine.

Additionally, another detainee was attacked by a police dog, resulting in injury.
