Violations committed by the Israeli occupation authorities against detainees during arrests

The policy of collective punishment and collective arrests in Palestinian cities:

The occupation authorities tend to use collective punishment as affirm policy against Palestinian cities and villages, where they intend to break through the cities with high number of troops, conducting inspection campaigns with vandalism actions as a means of revenge against detainees' families.

A case in point is Silwad town, where the occupation authorities broke through the town on July 2022 and implemented a vast campaign of arrests with 30 captives.

Ihsan Hamed (21 years) from Silwad, was subjected to field interrogation and attack during his arrest. His mother stated "they broke through the house at 5:30 am, accompanied by intelligence officers and entered Ihsan's room and started to interrogate him. They isolated us in different places, and the interrogation lasted for 3 hours. They destroyed the house belongings, broke the beds and tore up the furniture"

Another case in point is the detainee Taher Hamed (24 years), who got arrested in 29/6/2022. His mother stated "a high number of soldiers broke through our house in a brutal way and attacked my son while being asleep at the living room, handcuffed him and started to beat him on the head and legs. His sister tried to film this violation but the soldiers confiscated her phone and beat her on the legs.

 

The detainee Saadeya Faraj-Allah and the details of health deterioration and martyrdom, according to testimonies of Damoun detainees:

The detainees Saadeya Faraj-Allah (68 years) has been arrested last January. She's currently held at Damoun prison, and suffers from many health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Her health conditions deteriorated and started to use a wheelchair.

Female detainees stated "the health condition of the detainee Saadeya Faraj-Allah deteriorated last June, where we noticed swelling in her left arm and we asked help from the officer to move her to the clinic.  She has been transferred to a hospital in Israel and underwent many medical checkups and claimed all is well. Last July she felt tiredness and transferred to the clinic of the prison and underwent many checkups and then they announced her death.

The "Me'bar" sections in Israeli prisons

 The prisons administration does not stop abusing detainees in arbitrary ways and measures, aiming at disturbing and oppressing them. These measures are represented in detaining them in sections designated to hold the detainee for a certain period before he is transferred to the courts, other prisons, or one of the hospitals.

Recently, many complaints were monitored by detainees who suffered from tragic conditions of detention and life inside those sections, especially the Me'bar section in Ramlah prison. A case in point is the detainee Fahmi Mashahreh who has been moved to from Beersheba prison to another prison for interrogation and then was held at the Me'bar section in Ramlah prison.

According to his testimony "the Me'bar section in Ramlah prison is a narrow cage, which can only accommodate eight people, but the prison administration deliberately holds more than 20 prisoners in that limited space, without taking into account the sick and elderly prisoners. In addition, the toilet in that section is very dirty, and there is no clean place to pray". It is worthy to mention that the detainee Mashahreh is from Jerusalem, he's detained since 2002 and ruled to 20 life sentences.
