NEGEV, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), Palestinian prisoner Saber al-Amitel, from the Negev, was pronounced dead in an Israeli jail on Sunday, amid reports that he had been subjected to abuse and torture during his detention.
His death follows mounting warnings over the grim conditions inside Israeli jails, where Palestinian detainees face different forms of abuse, including severe medical neglect and physical torture.
Amitel joins more than 100 prisoners who have died in Israeli prisons and detention camps since the start of the genocidal war on Gaza, with the identities of only 90 confirmed so far.
Meanwhile, the Hamas Movement issued a statement today mourning prisoner Saber al-Amitel.
Hamas stressed that Amitel died as a result of his exposure to brutal detention conditions and savage assaults while in prison.
The Movement called on the international community and human rights organizations to take serious action and pressure for an end to Israel’s violations against Palestinian prisoners.
