A prisoner from Jenin died in the occupation's prisons.

The General Authority of Civil Affairs announced, death of prisoner Samir Muhammad Yusuf Al-Rifai (53 years old) in the occupation prisons.

The General Authority informed both the Prisoners' Authority and the Prisoners' Club of Al-Rifai's martyrdom, noting that he was from the town of Rummana in the Jenin Governorate.

The Commission and the Prisoners' Club explained that the detainee Al-Rifai is married and has five children. The occupation forces arrested him from his home on July 10th, and he was supposed to have his first hearing today in the Salem Military Court. It should be noted that the detainee, according to medical reports provided to us by his family, was suffering from heart problems before his arrest and required intensive medical follow-up.

The Commission and the Club added that with the martyrdom of detainee Al-Rifai, the number of martyrs among prisoners and detainees since the beginning of the genocide has risen to 74, only those whose identities are known, in light of the ongoing crime of enforced disappearance, making this period the bloodiest in the history of the prisoners' movement. Thus, the number of martyrs from the prisoners' movement whose identities are known since 1967 has reached 311 to date.
