The Commission of Prisoners' Affairs and Ex-Prisoners reported that prisoners in Megiddo Prison are suffering terribly as a result of starvation and beatings by the prison administration, especially the young children.
The Commission's lawyer said that prisoner Fadi Ibrahim Shami (24 years old), a resident of Nablus, lost 22 kilograms due to the continuous starvation of our prisoners in all prisons. He was arrested on 5/11/2023, and has a court date on 6/22/2025.
The young prisoner Qais Nasser Muhammad Din Shahada (15 years old) was beaten several times while he was in Etzion, and was transferred to prison. He was arrested from his home on 4/20/2025.
While prisoner Hamza Omar Muhaisen (17 years old) from Al-Arroub camp, who was arrested on 4/20/2025, is being held in Section 5, Room No. 11, he was beaten several times during his arrest.
The committee's lawyer reported that the prison administration sometimes shortens the break, which is supposed to last a full hour. Cases of scabies are constantly increasing inside the facility, and even medication is ineffective due to the poor hygiene and ventilation. Food is scarce, barely enough to sustain life.
It is noteworthy that the number of sections inside the prison is 9 sections, each section containing approximately 72 prisoners.
