Statement issued by the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinian Society Prisoner’s Club on the 22nd memorial of detention for the leader detainee Marwan Barghouthi
 
 April 15, 2024 
 
 Today marks the 22nd memorial of detention for the leader and national struggler, member of the Central Committee of Fatah Movement, Marwan Barghouthi, beside the detainee Ahmad Barghouthi. This memorial coincides the massive aggression against our people and detainees in Israeli prisons, besides the systematic genocide in Gaza, and the historical twist that constitutes an extension of resistance and struggle conducted by our people with their blood and sacrifices over long decades. His detention was part of targeting him by chasing, deportation and assassination attempts during the Aqsa uprising, in which the Palestinian people presented the finest image of resistance and struggle in confronting the occupation. The leader Marwan Barghouthi and his colleagues presented a sample of resistance despite the suppression and systematic policies of torture. Since October 7, our detainees and leaders of the Captive Movement were subjected to torture, isolation and unprecedented attacks, as the IPS intended to target our detainees and take away their rights which they obtained by blood and sacrifice. He and his colleagues were subjected to operations of isolation and transfer, as he was transferred from Ofer prison to the isolation of Ramla prison, then to the isolation of Ohelekdar prison and then to the isolation of Ramla prison again and finally he is currently held in the isolation of Megiddo prison. He was subjected to brutal attacks during his transfer by special forces, especially in Megiddo prison, which witnessed the most cruel torture and assaults after October 7. These procedures and policies escalated since October 7, were not new at all, but constituted an extension of suppressive and retaliatory measures since occupying our lands. It is worth mentioning that the isolation against the leader Marwan Barghouthi was not the first during his detention, rather, he was isolated several times and turned his experience into a front of confrontation and reinforced his revolutionary ideas. Barghouthi continued his struggle in order to reinforce the statement of “ the occupation’s prisons were turned into universities and educational institutions”. This expression was a metaphor in the past, but detainees turned into reality to reinforce knowledge, enlightenment and education. The Commission and Prisoner’s Club paid tribute to the leader Marwan Barghouthi and all his colleagues in prison, who continue their struggle with determination and resilience. *Glory to martyrs and freedom to detainees*

🔴 *The martyrdom of detainee Walid Daqqa (Abu Milad) after serving 38 years in Israeli prisons*

Ramallah
The Commission of Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinian Society Prisoner’s Club announced the martyrdom of detainee Walid Nimer Daqqa, 62, from Western Baqa village in the lands occupied in 1948, who has cancer and detained since 38 years in Israeli prisons, due to a series of medical crimes committed against him deliberately in order to kill him.

Daqqa is one of the most prominent leaders of the Captive Movement in Israeli prisons, and he was detained before signing the Oslo Accord, where the Israeli authorities refused to release him by exchange deals over the past decades.

The Commission and the prisoner’s club stated in a joint report that we mourn the martyrdom of a national leader who spent his life defending his nation, and left a national and intellectual heritage. He faced the policies of torture, assault, deprivation and isolation, in addition to successive medical crimes.

He was supposed to be liberated on March 25, 2023, but the Israeli occupation authorities added two years ti his sentence to be 39 years, in spite of diagnosing him with blood cancer.

His health condition deteriorated many times since last March, due to the constant medical ignorance and moving him to the clinic of Alramla prison, where he lived in difficult conditions.
He was transferred to Jelboa prison and then to Ramla prison, and he was moved to Asaf Harofeh prison many times. He and other detainees faced cruel detention conditions after October 7, as his family was prevented from the visit and could not contact him since then.

Daqqa joined the Palestinian Liberation Organization and he was arrested on March 25, 1986, and sentenced to life imprisonment. At that time, the life sentence was determined to 37 years of imprisonment, which means that he was supposed to be liberated in 24/5/2023, but the court of Beersheba issued a decision to add two years to his sentence under the charge of getting involved in bringing cell phones inside the prison.
