In the fifth episode, we check in with Tal Steiner, Executive Director of the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel. Tal spoke about fears of torture on both fronts – the Israeli hostages in Gaza and Hamas terrorists captured during the October 7 attack and held in Israel. She discussed how the current curtailment of freedom of speech creates potential for police brutality and persecution inside Israel and why studies show that using torture does not increase security but has the opposite effect.
