Details of the prisoners' suffering inside the "Al-Maabar" section of Al-Ramla prison

Ramallah - "Jerusalem" dot com - The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs reported, in a report, the complaints of a number of detainees and details of their suffering from the living and detention conditions inside Al-Ma'bar section of "Al-Ramla" prison.


The Commission stated that many prisoners suffer greatly when they are transferred from prisons and detention centers to the Mabar section in Ramleh, where they are held for long hours in narrow cages, very cold in winter and extremely hot in summer.


She added that the crossing section can accommodate only eight people, but the prison administration deliberately puts more than 20 prisoners in that limited space, without taking into account the sick and elderly prisoners, which forces the prisoners to divide themselves into two parts and take turns standing and sitting according to the available space, and the bathroom is in that. The section is very dirty, and there is no clean place to perform prayers inside the terminal station due to overcrowding and bad smells, knowing that this section is designated for holding both arrested and convicted prisoners.


The Commission called on international and humanitarian institutions to find out what the prisoners are subjected to in terms of multiple violations, including their imprisonment in poor living conditions, and to make efforts to pressure the occupation authorities to provide decent living conditions for the prisoners in accordance with the rights guaranteed by international conventions and norms for them as prisoners of liberation movements.
