Amnesty International, a prominent human rights organization, issued a statement on Monday calling for the immediate release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a Palestinian paediatrician and director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza. The group cited ongoing torture allegations against Abu Safiya as justification for his release. [1] reports that Israeli authorities have detained Abu Safiya without charges for more than 18 months, with his attorney alleging he has been subjected to harsh interrogation methods by the Israeli military. Both outlets agree on the detainment of Dr. Abu Safiya and the fact that he remains held without being charged. However, there is a disagreement over whether torture allegations have been substantiated or not.
