(320) detainees in Jelboa prison are living in deadly conditions

 

The Commission of Detainees’ Affairs stated in report issued today that (320) detainees are living in hell inside Jelboa prison, due to the Israeli policies carried out after October, that turned prisons into slaughterhouses in which detainees are exposed to beating and torture, and led to many executions against detainees of Gaza, the West Bank and the lands occupied in 1948. The legal unit in the commission visited detainee ( R. Y) from the city of Tulkarem, who is sentenced to life imprisonment, where the detainee cited: “they invaded the prison on October 8 in a brutal and provocative manner, tied our hands to the back and started to beat us on each part of our bodies. They confiscated our personal possessions and did not take into consideration the bad conditions of sick detainees and elderly. They deprived us from the prison’s courtyard, smoking and clothes. They also confiscated razors and nail clippers and canceled the organizational representation. We were prevented from going to the prison’s clinic and having medication. The reality is more cruel”. The Commission warned of the continuation of this fascist hatred of the occupying state against our detainees, as it does not make sense to keep silent in front of this organized crimes, which reveal the real face of tge occupation’s gangs. The violations and crimes took place in Jelboa and other Israeli prisons, are an actual evidence of disappointment and subordination of the international system and its organizations. It is worth mentioning that Jelboa prison contains three sections and it is overcrowded, where torture and assault is practiced against detainees even before October 7, especially that this prison has witnessed the heroic escape operation, in which six detainees were able to flee and went around the lands of Palestine for many days before they got rearrested.
