UN’s special rapporteur on human rights says Israel is systematically torturing Palestinians
Francesca Albanese says her report, which includes over 300 testimonies, ‘examines Israel’s systematic use of torture against Palestinians from the occupied Palestinian territory since October 7, 2023.’ Though appointed by the UN Human Rights Council, special rapporteurs are independent experts and do not speak on behalf of the UN.
