Lawyers representing the detainees reported that they have witnessed firsthand the inhumane conditions and treatment of the prisoners. "We have seen detainees being subjected to physical and psychological abuse, including beatings, sleep deprivation, and isolation," said one lawyer, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of retribution. "The conditions in the prison are inhumane, and the detainees are being treated as if they are less than human."
The lawyers also reported that the detainees are being held in secret, with no access to family members, lawyers, or medical care. "The Israeli government is hiding the existence of this prison, and the detainees are being held in complete isolation," said another lawyer. "This is a clear violation of international law and human rights."
The background of the issue dates back to the 1960s, when Israel established a network of secret prisons to hold Palestinian and Lebanese detainees. The prisons were built underground, and the detainees were kept in secret, with no access to the outside world. The Israeli government has long maintained that the prisons are necessary for national security, but human rights groups have long criticized the conditions and treatment of the detainees.
Human rights experts have weighed in on the issue, saying that the abuse of detainees in the underground prison is a clear violation of international law. "The Israeli government's actions are a clear breach of international human rights law, and we call on them to immediately release the detainees and allow them access to medical care and family members," said a spokesperson for the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
The current status of the issue is that the Israeli government has refused to comment on the allegations, and the detainees remain in secret. The lawyers representing the detainees continue to push for their release and access to medical care and family members. The situation remains tense, with human rights groups calling for international action to address the issue.
In related developments, the Israeli government has announced plans to build new prisons in the West Bank, which has raised concerns among human rights groups. The new prisons are expected to be built in secret, and the detainees will likely be held in similar conditions to those in the underground prison. The situation remains uncertain, with many calling for international action to address the issue.
