Israeli violations against Palestinian detainees
🔺️ The Commission of Detainees' Affairs stated that the Israeli authorities tend to use the policy of excessive force and torture against young men during arrest.
Cases in point:
▫️Detainee Rabea Shihab, 29, from Jenin. The Israeli authorities arrested him after breaking into his house and destroying its belongings. He was subjected to harsh beating and then he got transferred to Huwara investigation center.
▫️Detainee Hamza Reyad, 29, from Tulkarem. He was arrested after storming his house. They blindfolded him and he got handcuffed by thin plastic ties, which caused wounds in his hands. He is still held at Huwara investigation center.
🔺️ The Commission stated that three detainees in Negev prison are suffering from the policy of medical ignorance.
Cases in point:
▫️Detainee Samer Shroukh, 46, from Thaherya/Hebron.
He suffers from acceleration of heartbeat, but the administration of prisons only performed routine checks and gives him organizers for heartbeat and blood thinners.
▫️Detainee Ahmad Awwad, 42, from Tulkarem.
He had 3 strokes during his detention and he was receiving medical care in Soroka hospital. He's only given blood thinners and heartbeat organizers. In addition, he suffers from toothache, but the administration of prisons refused to take him to a dental clinic.
▫️Detainee Omar Kmail, 50, from Jenin. He suffers from loss of focus and amnesia, due to the hunger strike he was involved in for 20 days, protesting against his administrative detention.
🔺️ The Commission said that the detainee Thaer Masarwa is deprived of education, and he has critical injury.
The Israeli authorities stormed his house and inspected under the pretext of searching for weapons. He was subjected to harsh beating, and the soldiers did not take into account his injured arm, which is amputated due to bomb explosion.
It is worthy to mention that Masarwa is a student who was having the Tawjihi (High school final exams), and he was arrested before the last exam. Thus, he is deprived of his right to education and he got sentenced to 4 months of administrative detention.
