The Prisoners' and Ex-Prisoners' Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club reported that the judge of the Israeli occupation court in Hadera decided this evening, Monday, to open an immediate investigation into the case of the death of the prisoner Abd al-Rahman Ahmad Mar'i (33 years old) from the town of Qarawat Bani Hassan in Salfit Governorate.

The Commission and the Prisoner’s Club explained, in a joint statement, Monday evening, that the judge’s decision came after the court found out that the detainee, Maree, was subjected to severe beatings and torture, as there were injuries, signs, and traces of the crime on his body.

The statement explained that the judge asked the occupation police to provide the court with the details of the party that investigated the incident of the death of detainee Maree by the prison administration, provided that the court and the lawyer of the dead’s family are provided with the forensic report until 12/25/2023.

It is noteworthy that the victim Marhee was dead in “Megiddo” prison on 11/13/2023, after a fierce attack launched by the occupation prisons administration on male and female detainees after the 7th of October. Six detainees were dead in prisons since that date, and Maree was the fifth of them.

It is noteworthy that the victim was arrested on February 25, 2023. He is married and the father of four children, the eldest of whom is 11 years old and the youngest of whom is 4 years old.
