Israeli MPs vote for bid to force-feed Palestinian inmates

‘The Israeli regime’s legislators have voted to continue pursuing a bill to allow force-feeding of Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike while opponents insist the move is intended as a form of torture to silence protesting inmates.

The vote passed Monday evening with a slim majority at the Israeli Knesset. The controversial legislation, which could soon be fast-tracked into law, would enable the regime’s prison facilities to seek official authorization to force-feed Palestinian inmates if a doctor rules their hunger strikes involve health risks.

The measure is meant to replicate a similar tactic used at US military facilities in Iraq’s Abu Gharib prison during its invasion of the country in 2003-11 as well as in Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba.’
