Original: Israeli protesters rally for ‘the right to rape’ prisoners
Demonstrations have erupted in Israel after nine soldiers were detained for questioning over the alleged abuse of a Palestinian prisoner at Sde Teiman military detention facility. Protesters, including far-right politicians and some media commentators, have rallied in support of the suspects, with rhetoric Critics decry as defending the mistreatment of detainees, even at one protest openly framed around defending abuse. The case has deepened divisions over the treatment of Palestinian prisoners held during the Gaza war.
