Abstract [en]

 The absence of the United Nations in the Middle East countries has resulted in the victimization and violation of human rights in prisons. People imprisoned for opposing the government are detained and tortured unlawfully. This study aims to investigate the effects of prisoners’ victimization on their physical and mental health and how it impacts their lives after their release. For this research, I applied a qualitative technique, quantitative analysis using secondary data to understand the versatile topic of prisoners’ victimization and violations of human rights patterns in the Middle East countries where these practices have remained apparent for many years. This research showed how governments in the Middle East countries are using prisons for coercive political purposes. Syria and Iraq are among the nations that appear immune to the consequences of violating human rights. Victimization undermines international law concerning promoting the rule of law and protecting human rights. Many countries in the Middle East are facing the challenge of ensuring that their prisoners are treated humanely. People with different political views from their leaders are wrongfully convicted and handed unfair prison sentences to punish them for being liberal- minded. The conditions in these prisons are also inhumane as they are crowded considering how temperatures rise in these Middle East countries. Prisoners are also neglected medically evident through the number of deaths of prisoners from chronic illnesses. Prisoners are also tortured by the guards who overstep their mandate and punish innocent prisoners. In conclusion, it has been documented those prisons in the Middle East serve as secret centers where governments torture their people to death.
