A mission team led on a trip through Israel by United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Pramila Patten, found that there was substantial evidence to conclude that both hostages and survivors of October 7 were sexually abused and raped by Hamas terrorists.
Patten, therefore, called on Hamas to “immediately and unconditionally release all individuals held in captivity and to ensure their protection, including from sexual violence.”
The team, traveling and researching with Israel’s full cooperation, found “clear and convincing information that sexual violence, including rape, sexualized torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment has been committed against hostages.”
They have “reasonable grounds to believe that such violence may be ongoing against those still held in captivity.”
