The number of martyrs among the prisoner movement has risen to 81 since the beginning of the genocide war: a prisoner from Jenin has been martyred inside the occupation's

The General Authority for Civil Affairs informed both the Palestinian Prisoners' Club and the Prisoners' Affairs Authority of the martyrdom of prisoner Muhammad Hussein Muhammad Ghawadra (63 years old) from Jenin.

The occupation had arrested martyr Ghawadra on 6/8/2024, and he remained detained since then in "Janout" prison (formerly Nafha and Ramon). He is the father of administrative detainee Sami Ghawadra and the father of released prisoner Shadi Ghawadra, who was deported to Egypt as part of the exchange deal that took place at the beginning of this year.

The Authority and the Prisoners' Club confirmed that the martyrdom of prisoner Muhammad Ghawadra occurs amidst the ongoing systematic incitement led by the occupation authorities, represented by the fascist minister "Itamar Ben Gvir," who seeks to enact a law to execute prisoners and boasts of his crimes against them, while Palestinian prisoners are subjected to one of the most severe forms of comprehensive and ongoing extermination war inside Israeli prisons.

The crime of killing martyr Ghawadra adds to the series of compounded crimes perpetrated by the occupation system against prisoners, aimed at slowly killing them and destroying them psychologically and physically.

The two institutions pointed out that after the ceasefire agreement, the occupation prison administration intensified its crimes and violations, as the testimonies and statements of released prisoners provided compelling evidence of the compounded torture crimes and field executions inside the prisons, which was clearly reflected in the bodies of the martyrs that were handed over as part of the agreement.

With the martyrdom of detainee Muhammad Ghawadra, the number of martyrs from the prisoner movement since the beginning of the extermination war rises to (81) martyrs whose identities have been identified, amidst the ongoing crime of enforced disappearance affecting dozens of detainees.

This phase in the history of the prisoner movement is the bloodiest since 1967, as the number of martyrs whose identities have been known since 1967 until today is (318) martyrs, according to documented data from prisoner institutions.

The number of prisoners whose bodies are being held by the occupation before and after the war has also risen to (89) bodies, of which (78) are after the war.

The two institutions emphasized that the accelerating pace of martyrdom among prisoners and detainees in this unprecedented manner confirms that the Israeli prison system is continuing to implement a policy of slow killing, as hardly a month passes without a new martyr rising from the ranks of prisoners.

With the continuation of daily crimes inside the prisons, the number of martyrs is likely to rise, amidst the detention of thousands of prisoners in conditions lacking the most basic elements of life, exposing them to systematic violations including: torture, starvation, physical and sexual assaults, medical crimes, and the spread of infectious diseases, foremost among them scabies, which has returned to spread among them, in addition to unprecedented deprivation and looting policies in their severity and level.

The two institutions added that the field executions that have targeted dozens of detainees confirm the criminal nature of the occupation system, as the images of the bodies of prisoners whose bodies were handed over after the ceasefire serve as conclusive evidence of the extent of the crimes committed against them in the field.

The Prisoners' Affairs Authority and the Prisoners' Club held the occupation authorities fully responsible for the martyrdom of detainee Muhammad Ghawadra, and renewed their call to the international human rights system to take effective measures to hold the leaders of the occupation accountable for the war crimes committed against prisoners and the Palestinian people.

They also demanded the imposition of clear international sanctions that isolate the occupation, restore the international human rights system to its fundamental role for which it was established, and end the horrific state of paralysis it has suffered during the extermination war, in addition to ending the state of immunity that "Israel" still enjoys due to the support of international powers that treat it as an entity above the law and accountability.
