Tens of thousands of Palestinians are held in Israeli jails – most of them without charge.
And as the ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel is centred on the release of detainees, about 2,000 of them are due to be released.
But the mistreatment of detainees by Israeli forces has been documented for decades.
