The Independent Commission for Human Rights (ICHR) | Shadow report treatment. However, reported figures continue to be much less than the number of relevant complaints/claims filed to the ICHR on an annual basis. The report indicates that affected persons can lodge complaints to many agencies, including the ICHR. It states that these agencies received a number of claims of torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment from the ICHR against some law enforcement personnel. However, the number of complaints allegedly forwarded by the ICHR (14 in 2017 and none in 20142016) is so different from the true figures demonstrated by the ICHR annual reports. Even though some were unsatisfactory to the ICHR, replies on a significant portion of complaints were provided by the security agencies, to which these complaints had been forwarded. In 2016-2021, the ICHR received complaints from victims of torture, including at least 4,279 claims of torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. These claims break down by year as follows: 865 in 2016, 898 in 2017, 676 in 2018, 692 in 2019, 410 in 2020, and 738 in 2021. o Claims to torture and maltreatment affecting children in 2016-2021 In 2016-2021, a total of 505 claims of torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment were filed by children, representing 12 percent of all claims made to the ICHR in this regard. These claims were distributed by year as follows: 113 in in 2016, 120 in 2017, 60 in 2018, 98 in 2019, 26 in 2020, and 88 in 2021. Children subjected to torture or maltreatment were detained against multiple backgrounds, mainly, theft, letting off fireworks, drug abuse, hacking of Facebook accounts, and murder. Claims of torture involved all security agencies, particularly the Preventive Security, Police, General Intelligence, Military Police, Internal Security, and juvenile welfare institutions. Patterns of torture inflicted on children included physical and psychological abuse, torture, threats during detention, and other forms of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. o Claims to torture and maltreatment affecting women in 2016-2021 In 2016-2021, at least (9%) percent of all claims of torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment were filed by women.
