RAMALLAH(Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Prisoners’ Media Center revealed on Friday the names of five new prisoners from the Gaza Strip who were martyred due to torture in Israeli occupation prisons.
The martyrs were identified as Wafa Abdul Hadi, Atta Fayyad, Fathi Jad Allah, Majed Sawafiri, and Ali Al-Hawli.
Human rights sources reported that the above-mentioned martyrs died in Sde Teiman detention camp due to brutal torture at the hands of Israeli occupation jailers.
The Haaretz Hebrew newspaper had previously announced the martyrdom of 36 prisoners from the Gaza Strip in Sde Teiman prison, amid talks about the martyrdom of 60 detainees who had died of torture in Israeli occupation prisons since October 7 last year.
Meanwhile, the Detainees and Ex-detainees Affairs Commission said its lawyer was able to visit a number of administrative prisoners in Ofer Prison. They are Ahmed Hajjaj from Beit Rima, Kian Awaysa and Wajdi Khattab from Ramallah, and Muhammad Kamil from Qabatiya near Jenin.
The lawyer said that the prisoners told him how difficult, dangerous and complex are the detention conditions in Israeli jails.
The prisoners affirmed being continuously subjected to a series of punitive and vengeful policies, including poor treatment, assaults, starvation, insults, and deprivation of clothing, medicines, painkillers and treatment, in addition to daily transfers among the prisoners, whether from one room to another or from one section to another without any justifications, just to create a state of instability.
The prisoners also spoke about the policy of coercion imposed on them in all aspects of their lives, as they recently have been forced to shave their heads to zero degree, and anyone who objects would subject to harsh penalties, which may cost him a heavy price of beatings and torture.
The Commission monitored a significant increase in the number of administrative detainees, who surged to 3,432 detainees, the majority of whom have been arrested since October last year.
