Commission of Detainees’ Affairs:
Detainees’ screams fills the corridors of Nafaha Prison

March 27, 2024


The Commission of Detainees’ Affairs warned of the escalated persistence of torture policy pursued by the IPS in dealing with male and female detainees, which turned their lives into hell, as they are isolated from the outside world and there are unprecedented penalties imposed on them.

In this aspect, the advocate of the commission cited the testimony of many detainees during a visit to Nafaha prison saying “ during waiting in the visit room, where there is a joint wall between it and the corridor of the prison’s rooms, I heard the sound of detainees who are getting tortured and beaten, as they are cursed by soldiers and forced to say obscenities and swear words. It probably comes from the place of holding detainees from Gaza.

The Commission pointed out that detainees’ conditions on Nafaha prison still the way it is, where sections and rooms in general look like cells, detainees do not have clothes or belongings, they have long hair and beards because the IPS confiscated razors since October 7. Each detainee has one mattress and cover, and they suffer from poor quality and quantity of food. Sometimes they remain fasting due to delay in serving food. There is power cut for long hours, and water is allowed for two hours per day. Sometimes water is not available for 4 days.”

The Commission indicated that the retaliatory and punitive measures against detainees are identical in all prisons, and the attack against them is escalated in the light of the international failure.
