“A British organization charged today that Israel has tortured many prisoners in a reign of terror waged against Palestinians in Arab territory occupied in the 1967 Middle East war.”

Context added by this archive

The earliest torture allegation in the archive, five years before the United Nations committee and the London Sunday Times. The source is the Union of Liberal Students, an offshoot of the Young Liberals in Britain. Printed the same day as the Palm Beach Post ran the same dispatch under a different headline.
