Israel scales down facility after CNN exposes abuse of Palestinians

Israel has transferred hundreds of Palestinian detainees out of the shadowy detention facility of Sde Teiman in Israel’s Negev desert, a state attorney told Israel’s Supreme Court on Wednesday during a first-ever hearing about the facility where prisoners from Gaza have allegedly been held under conditions of extreme abuse. The hearing comes in response to a petition by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel and other human rights groups, which drew heavily on CNN reporting about the makeshift prison to make a case for it to be shut down.
