Palestinian Prisoners’ Commission: The occupation’s systematic crimes against prisoners have escalated since the beginning of aggression against Gaza
The Palestinian Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Commission has warned of the consequences of the escalation of the Israeli occupation’s crimes against prisoners in the occupation’s detention centers, especially the sick ones, since the start of the Israeli aggression against Gaza Strip on the seventh of last October.
Wafa Agency quoted the Commission as saying in a statement today: The occupation authorities’ arbitrary practices and violations continue to escalate against the prisoners who suffer systematic physical and psychological torture, the policy of deliberate medical neglect, the prevention of visits, assaults, severe beatings, stripping them of their clothes, and solitary confinement, which has worsened their health conditions and injured dozens, some of them suffer from fractures, bruises, and diseases, which threaten their lives at any moment.
The Commission pointed to the serious deterioration in the health conditions of sick prisoners as a result of the occupation’s violations, especially the prisoner Assef Al-Rifai, who suffers from cancer, and who is left victim to disease spreading throughout his body. He also suffers from aches, pains, and other health problems in the liver, glands, and intestines.
The Commission called on the international community and human rights and humanitarian institutions to intervene immediately to stop the occupation’s crimes against prisoners, especially the chronically ill ones, and to release them immediately.
