The lawyer of the Commission of Detainees' Affairs, Fawaz Shaloudi, after visiting him at Ramlah prison, stated that the detainee Awawdeh (40 years old) uses a wheelchair, where he had a problem in the nerves of the brain and the eyes due to the hunger strike he went through.

He entered the hunger strike in 3/3/2022 protesting against his administrative detention and suspended the strike after 111 days upon promises to limit the period of his detention and release him.

However, after suspending his strike he has been sentenced to a new administrative detention rule for 4 months .Thus, he decided to go on a hunger strike until 31/8/2022. An agreement has been made between his lawyer and the administration of prisons to set him free on 2/10/2022.

The Commission of Detainees' Affairs pointed out that the administration of prisons had got around the decision of releasing the detainee Awawdeh, claiming that they will file an indictment against him.

Awawdeh sent a letter by the Commission's lawyer, saying: (I am recovering slowly, my morale is very high and I was not affected by keeping me in prison. I'm satisfied with God's will, and if they sentenced me to the administrative detention again, I won't hesitate to enter a hunger strike. I'm 50 kg now, and I can't walk without help).

The Commission calls on the international community organisations to intervene immediately to release the detainee Awawdeh. It's worth noting that he is married and a father of 4 daughters. He is a former detainee who spent the total of 12 years, including 6 years under the administrative detention.

The occupation authorities issued (1610) administrative detention orders so far this year. (30) administrative detainees are currently on hunger strike for (12) days , as an option that does not have an alternative, in protest against their administrative detention.

The Commission of Detainees' Affairs illustrated that the occupation authorities have issued (245) orders of administrative detention last September, with (1610) orders so far this year.

The Commission stated that the administrative detention orders included (723) new orders accounted for around (44.9%) of the total number, and (887) renewal orders accounted for (55.1%) of the total orders.

The Commission demonstrated that the number of administrative detention orders of this year has exceeded the the orders of last year (2021), which recorded about (1595) orders. This means that there is an obvious increase in administrative detention orders.

The Commission of Detainees' Affairs called on the Palestinian people to stand by the administrative detainees and support them in their ongoing battle against the policy of administrative detention.

The head of the Commission of Detainees' Affairs, Qadri Abu Baker, stated that detainees are going to escalate their struggling plan to attain their demands, where this plan started today with dissolving the organisational bodies.

This means that the administration of prisons is forced to deal with each detainee separately. Abu Baker announced the steps that will be implemented by detainees, where 1000 detainees will go through a hunger strike next September, and the number will duplicate to reach 2000, in addition to returning their meals and other preliminary steps preceding the collective hunger strike.

Abu Baker confirmed that the strike is not the aim, but it is the last solution for them. The aim behind this struggling plan is disclaiming their rights and demands by the administration of prisons.

He also pointed out that the administration of prisons tend to deprive detainees from their rights, especially after the "freedom tunnel" , where tens of detainees got isolated.

Moreover, he related to the international solidarity with detainees and full support for their struggling plan.

* The military court of appeal at Ofer prison releases the detainee Musheer shahateet from Hebron, after submitting a request by the lawyer of the Commission of detainees to reduce his sentence, where he was supposed to be free on 20/10/2022

* The detainee Zakaria Zubaidi is currently isolated in difficult conditions at Remon prison, where he is kept most of the time handcuffed which causes severe pain. The head of the Commission, Qadri Abu Baker, called on human rights organisations to intervene immediately to put an end to his suffering.

* The detainee Wael Ne'arat is suffering from bad health conditions in the isolation of Remon prison. He has numbness in his hands and legs, in addition to visual impairment and hair fall due to diabetes, however, the administration of prisons refused to conduct medical tests for him. He went on a hunger strike before two weeks as the administration of prisons refused to provide him with diabetes test strips.

The Commission of Detainees and Ex_detainees Affairs confirmed in a report issued today that some members of the Nahshon special forces have recently abused minor detainees sexually, during the inspection process before transferring them to trials.

The Commission pointed out that according to testimonies of many minor detainees, who are currently held at Megiddo prison, they have been subjected to sexual harassment in a degrading manner by touching their sexual organs deliberately.

The Commission directed the advocate staff to monitor this issue, where minors are victims of the jailers' barbaric desires. Moreover, the Commission called on the international organisations and human rights organisations to intervene immediately to save those children and stop targeting them before destroying their future.
