TULKAREM (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Hamas Movement has mourned prisoner Mohamed al-Aref, who was martyred on Wednesday evening in an Israeli jail as a result of his exposure to severe torture and abuse at the hands of Israeli jailers and interrogators.
In a statement, Hamas described the death of Aref in detention as a crime that the Israeli occupation would pay dearly for, holding the Israeli government, especially its minister Itamar Ben Gvir, fully responsible for the criminal practices that happen in Israeli prisons.
Hamas called for urgent action to save the lives of the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, saying they “are facing systematic torture and repression.”
The Palestinian Commission of Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs said on Wednesday that prisoner Mohamed al-Aref, a 45-year-old from Nur Shams refugee camp, was martyred in an Israeli jail.
