Tens of thousands of Palestinians are held in Israeli jails - most of them without charge.
And with the ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel centred on the release of detainees, about 2,000 of them are due to be released.
But the mistreatment of detainees by Israeli forces has been documented for decades.
So as well as international law, is Israel breaking its own laws in its arrest and treatment of prisoners?
Why did it arrest and torture so many people during the war on Gaza?
And is it using mass detention to maintain its occupation?
