🔴 Meeting detainees of Itzion detention center via WhatsApp to overcome the occupation authorities’ excuses

-the lawyer of the commission was able to overcome the occupation’s excuses, as the administration of Itzion detention center notified her of cancellation of detainees visitation under the pretext of fire in the road leading to the center. She insisted to conduct the visit and she was able to meet detainees via WhatsApp to make sure they are doing well. They confirmed that the general situation is difficult and complicated, as they are subjected to humiliation, torture, beat, deprivation of food and clothes and systematic policy of medical neglect.

🔴 The administration of Ashkelon prison is isolating detainee Ayham Kammji since 15/5/2024

-detainee Ayham Kammji was transferred from the isolation of Remon prison to the isolation of Ashkelon, as he stated that the conditions of isolation in both prisons are terrible. He also said that the administration confiscated his clothes and covers, served him a bad quantity and quality of food, where he lost 25kgs. The administration of prison does not take into consideration his serious health condition, where he suffers from problems in the intestines and needs special kind of food. He also suffers from pain in his leg, where he can’t walk. However, the so- called prison’s clinic did not provide him with any treatment.
