Os grupos das direitas humanas em Israel acusaram os serviços de segurança rotineiramente de mistreating detidos Palestinian.
Os dois detidos ditos grupos foram prendidos em circunstâncias appalling, e torturados às vezes.
Disseram que o maltreatment estêve pretendido “quebrar o espírito” daqueles que interrogated.
O ministry da justiça de Israel rejeitou o relatório - que foi publicado em domingo - como unrepresentative e inaccurate.
The report lists a number of techniques the two groups, B’Tselem and the HaMoked Centre for the Defence of the Individual, say are deployed by the Israeli Security Agency.
They range from preventing detainees from contacting their lawyers, to painful shackling to a chair, threats and intimidation, beating and sleep deprivation.
The groups drew on the testimony of 73 Palestinians detained over a six-month period.
International law
International law is clear in prohibiting ill-treatment or torture, and it allows for no extenuating circumstances.
However, the human rights groups point to a more ambiguous ruling from the Israeli High Court.
It decreed that members of the security service who abused detainees may be exempted from criminal liability, if they believed that the people they were interrogating had information about an imminent terrorist act.
The human rights campaigners also say that of more than 500 complaints about the behaviour of security service agents, not one criminal investigation has been opened.
The Ministry of Justice said the report was “fraught with mistakes, groundless claims and inaccuracies”.
In a statement, the ministry also said that over the past few years, information obtained by security service agents - sometimes through interrogation - had saved the lives of many civilians.
