July 28, 2024
The lawyer of the commission confirmed, after a visit to Ofer prison on July 24, 2024, that the administration of prison pursues its fierce campaign against detainees since last October, and invented new measures to crack down on detainees.
In this context, we present the following information:
1. There are 7 attempts of suicide due to the bad detention conditions, the brutality of jailers, and targeting them by the policy of starvation and medical neglect
2. detainees are exposed to intense beat during arrest and in custody, especially if they are late or do not wake up on time (4:00 am).
3. one of the detainees had burns during taking shower, due to the extreme hot water. He did not receive medical care which forced him to use toothpaste on the burns. It is worth mentioning that the administration of prison controls the temperature of water remotely.
4. detainee Amro Abu Khalil suffers from cancer and is receiving chemotherapy. His treatment was canceled and he was subjected to intense beat and returned to prison.
5. detainee Basheer Zaghloul Qasem Khatib, 38, from Birzeit/ Ramallah, was exposed to harsh beat during arrest. He lost 12 kgs since his detention on February 18, 2023.
6. rooms of the canteen, laundry and counting were turned into cells
7. 11 detainees are held in the same room, 5 of them sleep on the ground and the rest sleep on iron beds. They lack the minimum life elements of clothes, blankets and food.
