GAZA, (The Palestinian Information Center) The Palestinian Center for Prisoner Advocacy has confirmed that Israeli prison authorities have intensified their assaults on Palestinian detainees.
In a statement issued on Friday, the center stated that Israeli special units continue to storm prisoner sections and cells, brutally assaulting inmates daily under baseless and unjustified pretexts.
The Center pointed out that Israeli guards typically raid cells after throwing stun and gas grenades before launching physical assaults using batons, sticks, police dogs, pepper spray, and electric stun devices.
It also noted that the detainees are currently suffering under extreme weather conditions, with temperatures in prison areas exceeding 113°F (45°C). Overcrowded cells, poor ventilation, and the absence of minimum humanitarian standards have made conditions unbearable.
Prisoners are reportedly unable to sleep due to the excessive heat, and their bedding is soaked with sweat because most of the prisons are located in desert regions.
The center stressed that the ongoing abuses inside Israeli prisons demand urgent action from international human rights organizations to put an end to these violations and ensure legal and humanitarian protection for Palestinian detainees.
