Israeli prisons begin to mistreat Palestinian prisoners: Palestinian Authority
Qudora Faris, head of the Palestinian Prisoner Affairs Authority, has said that Israel has imposed arbitrary and punitive measures against Palestinian prisoners since the start of the war on Gaza on October 7.
Prisoners are being treated in a way that has not been seen in Israel since 1967.
According to a foreign news agency, Qudora Faris said in statements that prisoners are being treated worse by following the orders of the command of the Israeli army.
He warned of the dire situation faced by the prisoners after the Hamas attack.
He added that a state of emergency had been declared in Israeli prisons since the first day of the war.
The Israeli authorities locked the prisoners in their rooms and cells and did not allow them to go outside.
Qadura said Israel has increased jamming devices, halted visits, periodically cut off electricity and water from the prisoners’ sections, withdrawn food supplies from the sections, reduced the amount of food and even allowed prisoners to enter the prison yard. They have started taking humanitarian measures like stopping.
He explained that the prison administration then started adding a new routine daily and also cut off the electricity and water facilities available to the inmates. After that, a series of physical attacks began. Continuous provocations have been started in the jail.
Israeli officials are also harassing Palestinian prisoners under the pretext of repeated inspections. The head of the Prisoners’ Affairs Authority said that these actions are aimed at creating provocation and making the prisoners ready for any reaction to coerce them. In this context, the Israeli prison officials have started confiscating the prisoners’ clothes, blankets and other items.
Medicines are no longer available to prisoners. This is causing the health of the prisoners to deteriorate on a regular basis. Their psychological and physical condition is also affected.
He further said that there are prisoners whose organs were broken as a result of these Israeli actions. Their treatment was also denied. What is happening now in Israeli prisons has not happened since 1967 and represents a war crime.
Faris explained that since October 7, the number of Palestinians taken into administrative detention has reached 1,000. The purpose of these arrests is to take revenge and to exact the price of Operation Storm Al-Aqsa from the Palestinian people.
Qudora Faris said that lawyers are also facing restrictions and obstacles within the courts. All appeals scheduled for administrative detention have been postponed.
He added that the number of workers arrested in the Gaza Strip is estimated to be around 4,000, but Israel has not provided any information or information to any international organization regarding their number and the prisons to which they have been transferred.
