The Captive Club added, on the occasion of the International Day against Torture, which falls on the 26th of June of each year, that the systematic torture policy is no longer limited to the well-known concept of torture in accordance with international law, as we find that the occupation agencies at their various levels have created modern methods and tools for torture operations, and on Although this concept was associated with the interrogation period, this does not mean that it is the only station in which the detainee faces torture.

Through this policy, the occupation aims primarily to put pressure on the detainee in order to extract confessions from him, rob him of his humanity, and impose more control and oversight on him. This policy, over the decades, has led to the death of dozens of detainees and prisoners.

According to the follow-up of the testimonies of hundreds of detainees and prisoners annually, all of them, without exception, are subjected to various types of torture and ill-treatment, from the moment of arrest, through investigation, and even after being thrown into prisons and detention centers. The concept of torture is well-known, and the occupation authorities do not exclude any of the categories, whether children, women, patients, or the elderly.
