GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Hamas Movement said the martyrdom of five Palestinian detainees in Israeli occupation prisons in the past hours exposes the Israeli occupation’s ugliest face of brutality and confirms its complete detachment from all human values and international laws, amidst suspicious international silence and inability to hold it accountable for escalating its crimes against Palestinian prisoners.
Hamas stressed, in a statement on Monday evening, that the serious violations Palestinian prisoners are exposed to, including enforced disappearance, medical neglect, systematic torture, and deprivation of the most basic rights, are a direct result of the blatant US bias and the absence of real international deterrence.
Hamas called on the masses of the Palestinian people to go out in mass rallies to support the prisoners’ steadfastness in the face of the Israeli occupation’s attacks, especially with the escalation of ethnic cleansing crimes and the war of extermination launched against the Gaza Strip.
The Movement called on all international human rights organizations to condemn the Israeli occupation and prosecute its leaders before international courts to hold them accountable for their crimes targeting prisoners and the entire Palestinian people.
Earlier on Monday, the prisoners’ institutions announced the martyrdom of four Palestinian prisoners from the Gaza Strip one day after the death of a fifth prisoner from Gaza due to severe torture in Israeli prisons, bringing the number of detainees from the Gaza Strip who died in Israeli occupation’s prisons during the past 24 hours to 5 martyrs.
The four martyrs were identified as Muhammad Al-Akka, 44, Samir Al-Kahlout, 52, Zuhair Omar Al-Sharif, 58, and Muhammad Labad, 57.
The number of prisoners who died inside Israeli occupation prisons since the beginning of the genocidal war, has risen to 54 martyrs, and this number is the highest in history, making this stage the bloodiest stage in the history of the prisoner movement since 1967.
