The Commission of Prisoners' Affairs and Ex-Prisoners has documented testimonies from inside Israeli prisons confirming the ongoing systematic crimes against prisoners, including beatings and abuse, in addition to starvation and medical neglect.
The Commission stated in a report published Sunday that the Israeli prison administration continues to commit crimes against prisoners, with the fate of more than 10,000 prisoners, including women and children, increasingly at risk.
Among the testimonies documented by the Commission through its legal team at Ofer Prison is the case of prisoner Bilal Amro from the town of Dura, south of Hebron, who suffers from severe back and foot pain due to the presence of platinum. He has repeatedly asked the prison administration to provide the necessary painkillers to alleviate his pain, but to no avail. He also suffers from severe visual impairment.
Regarding the case of prisoner Alaa Al-Adam from the town of Beit Ula, west of Hebron, the Commission stated that he suffers from a skin allergy in the thigh area and severe itching due to a skin disease that has not been treated properly.
In the Negev prison, the Commission's lawyer visited prisoner Hassan Imad Abu Hassan from the town of Yamoun, west of Jenin, who has been suffering from scabies for more than three months. On the first day of his detention in Megiddo prison, the prison guards forced him to sleep on a bed belonging to a prisoner suffering from scabies. As his health deteriorated, ointment was brought to him and he began to improve. However, when the repression units stormed the room, they seized the ointment and severely beat him for no apparent reason.
