Detainees held in Jelboa prison are living in difficult detention conditions

September 10, 2024

The Commission of Detainees’ Affairs stated that detainees held in Jelboa prison are living seriously under difficult conditions, due to the Israeli policies and variants imposed since October 7. These policies have turned prisons into real graves, in which torture and abuse are practiced, leading to the martyrdom of tens of detainees from different Palestinian cities.

The department of legal affairs in the commission recounted, after a visitation to the detainee Naser Shaweesh who is sentenced to 4 terms of life imprisonment, the details of the conditions lived by detainees in Jelboa prison, where the administration if prison confiscated all their belongings, without taking into account sick and elderly detainees. They turned the rooms into cells, as detainees are prevented from break and smoking, and completely isolated from the outside world. Moreover, detainees are deprived of clothes, blankets, razors, nail clippers, in addition to the fines and sanctions imposed against them.

The commission stated that the plight of sick detainees is increasing day by day, as there is no medical care, and detainees are just provided with painkillers.

The commission warned of this ongoing hatred of Israel against our detainees, and confirmed that the violations committed against detainees in Jelboa prison are applied to all prisons.
