The Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs said that prisoner Zakaria Zubeidi – an icon of the second Intifada and one of the six inmates who broke out of Israeli prison in 2021 – has been subjected to abusive practices, including solitary confinement and handcuffing as wardens conduct a daily search of his cell at 1 A.M.
Quoting his lawyer Moataz Shqairat on Wednesday, the commission said that 47-year-old from Jenin Refugee Camp has faced "inhumane conditions" in Ohalei Kheidar detention facility in the southern city of Be'er Sheva.
After the jailbreak in 2021, Israeli occupation authorities rearrested the six prisoners and sentenced them to an additional five years in prison and 5,000 shekel fines. Prisoner rights groups have reported that they have faced a range of abuses, from solitary confinement to medical neglect.
