54. Physicians for Human Rights. Health Care in Detention: A Study of Israel's Treatment of Palestinians. Physicians for Human Rights, 1990.

The authors discuss medical conditions of Palestinians in Israeli prisons. The study is based mainly on interviews with ex-detainees as the PHR mission was denied access to most Israeli jails where Palestinians were held.

The main findings are:

a. There are doubts about whether physicians are free to make medical decisions without the interference of the security services.

b. Israeli hospital physicians are not fulfilling their obligation to prevent physical abuse of Palestinian detainees.

c. Environmental health and sanitation in some detention facilities are unacceptable.
