The release of nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees offers a rare glimpse into the immediate health impacts of incarceration in Israel. Some of those released on Monday are suffering from a range of health problems they developed during years in Israeli detention, doctors and freed prisoners in the occupied West Bank told The Associated Press. Israel maintains that it follows international and domestic legal standards for the treatment of prisoners and that any violations by prison personnel are investigated.
