🔴 The Hidden Genocide: Thousands of Palestinian Political Prisoners Suffer Severe Crimes and Extermination Behind Bars - December 2025 Briefing
🔴 Commission of Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society
December 25, 2025
Ramallah, occupied Palestine – The Commission of Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) have released a new briefing on the detention conditions for the more than 9,300 Palestinian political prisoners held in the Israeli occupation’s prisons and military camps, covering the month of December 2025.
The Israeli occupation’s prison system and military continues to systematically destroy Palestinian prisoners both physically and psychologically, using methods and policies that have become unprecedented in scale since the start of the genocide in occupied Gaza. The war crimes and crimes against humanity being committed against prisoners constitutes an inseparable part of the genocide as well the ongoing violent colonial erasure of the Palestinian people across all Palestinian geographies.
Lawyers of the Commission and the PPS conducted dozens of visits to Palestinian prisoners in December 2025, specifically to the Ofer, Naqab (Negev), Megiddo, Ramla Clinic, Rakevet Underground Section, Shatta, Gilboa and Janot central prisons, as well as several military camps where detainees are held including Sde Teiman and Gilad, and finally Damon prison where all female detainees are held.
Testimonies gathered and highlighted in this report show a continued severe decline in prison detention conditions, and an escalation in brutal assaults by special prison forces units. This comes alongside systematic starvation, the denial of medical treatment and healthcare, and the continuation of policies of deprivation of the most basic necessities of humane life. The occupation’s policies are aimed at violating prisoners’ human dignity through humiliation and abuse, carried out instantaneously and around the clock.
