“Israel must immediately release Gazan doctor Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya,” UN experts said in a recent statement, in unequivocal terms. Dr. Abu Safiya was “subjected to torture and other cruel and degrading treatment,” they said. His health condition is “dire.” Many are already familiar with the iconic Palestinian doctor from Gaza. But the deserved and urgent focus on his case should not end with him. Rather, it should illuminate the broader catastrophe afflicting Gaza’s health sector – one deliberately dismantled as part of the ongoing genocide that began on October 7, 2023.

Two United Nations experts have called on Israel to immediately release Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safiya from detention following reports that he had been subjected to "severe torture". Special Rapporteurs Tlaleng Mofokeng and Ben Saul said on Tuesday that the former director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in north Gaza faced severe torture and "other cruel and degrading treatment", leaving him in a "dire" health condition. “The conditions of his detention appear to be flagrantly arbitrary and manifestly inconsistent with the Mandela Rules, which establish the obligation of states to ensure prisoners have access to healthcare," they added.

Journalists Jailed By ICE Are Revealing The Horrors Of Incarceration

For decades, corporate media and elected officials have shown little interest in reporting by incarcerated individuals on the unchecked inhumane treatment and deplorable conditions inside U.S. jails, detention centers, and prisons. But as a result of the Trump administration’s escalation of anti-immigrant violence and efforts to quell all dissent, professional journalists and writers, who normally are severely restricted from entering into the U.S.’s carceral facilities, are now themselves experiencing the harsh realities that nearly 2.1 million incarcerated people are subjected to daily in this country.

Prisoners Who Appeared in HBO Documentary Are Being Punished

I don’t normally write about higher profile prisoners, opting instead to interview those prisoners who no one has heard of and have never accessed journalists before, for whatever reason. I don’t feel I’m contributing much unless I’m finding people I feel are really successfully hidden. Recently, however, and especially in the last week, on the heels of the major HBO documentary about the horrendous conditions in Alabama’s prisons and the struggle for freedom and human rights inside of them, and with a statewide prisoner work stoppage looming in February, the Alabama Department of Corrections is working hard to keep the most prominent, often the most accessible and well known voices inside the prisons inaccessible and suppressed.

Unabated US Prisoner Abuse

January 17, 2026 John Kiriakou, Consortium News. Educate! Human Rights, Prisons, Torture, United States

I’m a regular writer on prison conditions across the United States. Stated plainly, all Americans should be ashamed of the states of U.S. prisons, whether at the federal, state or local levels. Overall prison conditions, medical care, poor food quality, violence, the use of solitary confinement as a punishment, drug and other contraband sales by guards, and sexual abuse are on par with some of the worst prison systems in the world. Indeed, they are akin to the situation in many underdeveloped countries. The conventional wisdom in the United States is that the federal system is better than state and local prison systems and, if you must go to prison, you should want to be a federal facility.

On January 11, 2026, thousands of citizens of many countries held vigils for the 15 men still in the U.S. military prison at the U.S. Naval Base, Guantanamo, Cuba. As these citizens have done for over two decades, from London to Washington, DC to Honolulu, Hawaii, they are the voices of conscience for one of the most brutal episodes in U.S. history, the torture and imprisonment of hundreds of men who had nothing to do with the events of September 11, 2001. 24 Years Ago, xxxx days ago On January 11, 2002, twenty-four years ago, the first twenty detainees from Afghanistan arrived by military aircraft to the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo, Cuba.

Protesters accused Israel of running a system rooted in apartheid and genocide, and calling for an immediate end to mass incarceration.

The UN Committee Against Torture has released a new report accusing Israel of employing a “de facto state policy” of torture in an “organized and widespread” manner. The report highlights how Israel does not have any legislation criminalizing torture, adding that Israeli law protects officials from culpability. “The committee was deeply concerned about reports indicating a de facto state policy of organized and widespread torture and ill-treatment during the reporting period, which had gravely intensified since 7 October 2023,” the UN report said.

On June 19, 2024, Khaled Mahajneh, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, became the first lawyer to visit a notorious detention facility for Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, located inside the Sde Teiman military base in the Negev Desert, one of several detention facilities established after October 7, 2023 to hold Palestinians seized in Gaza. Speaking to +972 Magazine a week after his visit, Mahanjeh drew a pertinent comparison with the treatment of Muslim prisoners in the US’s post-9/11 “war on terror”, but concluded that Israel’s behavior was even worse.

The voyage went relatively well up until the interception. We sailed with the 1000 Madleens to Gaza flotilla so we spent some time catching up to them, waiting for them and then sailing with them. I met a couple of their people while we were in prison and at the hotel after we were released. They were good folks - and highly skilled sailors as well. The weather on the passage was mixed. We had a decent blow a couple of days in and seas were running a meter to a meter and a half. The medical staff used almost all of our seasickness medication during the week we were at sea but we never ran out. Fortunately, things calmed down for the last three days of the voyage. Generally, spirits ran high among the participants and I never felt like we were worried about the Israelis doing anything to us at all.

Pro-Palestinian activists who were on board the Global Sumud Flotilla reported being mistreated by Israeli authorities following their arrest last week. One Spanish activist, Goretti Sarasibar, told Reuters after his deportation that the detainees were forced to watch videos of Hamas’s attack on 7 October 2023. “They didn’t give us food all day,” he said. “Now we are super happy eating, as we were starving.” Dutch activist Marco Tesh said he could not breathe at one point “because they put something to my face and they tied my hands to my back.” Another one of the deported activists, Rafael Borrego, said, “At any time that any of us called a police officer, we risked that seven or more fully armed people entered to our cell, as they did on mine, pointing us with weapons at our heads, with dogs ready to attack us, and being dragged to the floor.”

Their repatriation was finally possible due to intense diplomatic negotiations by Nicolás Maduro administration with the US authorities.

DOJ Knew About and Used Notorious Homan Square ‘Black Site’

Scandals don’t get much more disturbing than that of Homan Square. In 2015, the Guardian revealed Chicago Police had allegedly employed torture and days-long unlawful detention at the secretive “black site”-like Homan Square facility, a nondescript warehouse located in Chicago’s west-side Garfield Park neighborhood. Outraged and alarmed by these revelations, politicians and activists clamored for the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate human rights abuses at the facility, which still operates today. Despite the pleading, the DOJ elected not to investigate Homan Square, and instead conducted a broad investigation of Chicago Police Department use of force practices.
