Prisoners' Club: The Israeli prison system carries out physical and psychological destruction operations against prisoners to kill more.

The Prisoners' Club stated that the Israeli prison system continues its policies and medical crimes against prisoners, aiming to destroy them physically and psychologically, as part of the fundamental course of slow killing that has led to the martyrdom of dozens of prisoners and detainees since the onset of the genocide.

The Prisoners' Club clarified in a statement today, Tuesday, that through legal visits to the prisoners and by following up on the cases of released prisoners after the end of their sentences, it has become evident that many of them suffer from chronic health and psychological issues that are escalating at an unprecedented rate, and that the vast majority of those visited suffer from at least one health problem, a situation that also applies to released prisoners.

The club added that the continued spread of diseases and epidemics among the ranks of prisoners reflects the level of the health catastrophe that the prison system has engineered and shaped to lead to the killing of more prisoners. In addition to the ongoing spread of scabies, which has infected thousands of prisoners, there are many diseases that appear without clear diagnosis, and some of these have been transferred to hospitals immediately upon their release, only to later find that they suffer from chronic illnesses.

In this context, the Prisoners' Club referred to the case of prisoner Mahmoud Abdullah from Jenin, who has been detained since January 2025 and is currently facing a serious deterioration in his health condition. According to a statement from one of the prisoners held in the "Ramla Prison Clinic," the prison administration recently transferred prisoner Abdullah to "Ramla" while he was in a critically dangerous health condition, with initial data indicating that he is suffering from cancer.

Prisoner Abdullah is a former detainee who was arrested during the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2002 and spent two years in prison. He was suffering from health issues prior to his current arrest and was receiving treatment. In his new arrest this year, he has been moved between "Megiddo" and "Gilboa" prisons, reaching "Ramla."

A new trial session for him is scheduled for September 29, 2025. The Prisoners' Club confirmed that it is closely following the case of detainee Abdullah and has submitted a request to visit him in "Ramla" to assess the details of his health condition, in addition to taking the necessary legal measures to follow up on his treatment.

Regarding released prisoners, the Prisoners' Club documented hundreds of cases that required urgent health follow-up over the past months, with some of them emerging in critical and dangerous health conditions as a result of torture, deprivation of treatment, and the crime of starvation. Among the most notable of these cases is that of former detainee Mahmoud Al-Wardian from Bethlehem, who was found to be suffering from brain damage and signs of torture on his body after his release, and he remains in a coma in the hospital to this day.

Recently, the occupation released detainee Murad Obeid (30 years old) from Tubas, after 16 months of detention in "Megiddo" prison, where he was released in a dangerous health condition. It became clear hours after his release that he was suffering from severe pneumonia that caused a drop in oxygen levels, in addition to suffering from severe weight loss, as his weight had dropped to (45 kg) due to the crime of starvation, necessitating his transfer to intensive care where he is still receiving treatment.

The Prisoners' Club confirmed that the systematic medical crimes perpetrated by the occupation have constituted, and continue to constitute, one of the most prominent crimes committed against prisoners, alongside a series of other violations carried out over decades, introducing new tools and methods to kill more prisoners. These crimes have escalated at an unprecedented rate since the onset of genocide and the subsequent serious changes in detention conditions within prisons.

The club renewed its call to the United Nations for the necessity of opening an independent international investigation into the systematic crimes committed against prisoners and detainees in Israeli occupation prisons, and to restore its required role to save what remains of the essence of its work, and to bear its responsibilities regarding what is happening amid the ongoing genocide against our people in Gaza and the comprehensive aggression on various Palestinian geographies.
