Death of two Palestinian detainees from the Gaza Strip inIsraeli prisons
Today, Sunday, the Prisoners' Institutions announced the death of two detainees from the Gaza Strip: Muhammad Abdul Rahman Huwaishel Idris (35 years old) and Muath Khaled Muhammad Rayyan (31 years old).
The institutions explained in a joint statement that the institutions were informed of the martyrdom of the detainee Idris through the Civil Affairs Authority the day before yesterday, 11/29/2024, in Ofer Prison, while they received the news of the martyrdom of the detainee Moaz Rayan after corresponding with the occupation army to inquire about his fate, and in the response it was found that he was martyred on 11/2/2024, without disclosing the place of his martyrdom.
The institutions indicated that, according to his family, detainee Muhammad Idris did not suffer from any health problems before he went missing on August 25, 2024, while detainee Rayan suffered from complete paralysis before his arrest on October 21, 2024.
It added that it was previously announced last November that a father and his son were martyred in the occupation prisons after the (HaMoked) Foundation was able to obtain a response from the occupation’s Supreme Court regarding their fate. They are: Munir Abdullah Mahmoud Al-Faqawi (42 years old) and his son Yassin Munir Al-Faqawi (18 years old), bringing the number of martyrs of the prisoner movement since the beginning of the war to (47) martyrs. They are only the martyr prisoners whose data the institutions received, while the occupation continues to hide dozens of Gaza detainees who were martyred after the war in the occupation prisons and camps.
In this context, the prisoners’ institutions confirm that the disclosure of more martyrs among the detainees of Gaza, who have been killed in the past months and days, means that the occupation is continuing with systematic torture crimes, in addition to medical crimes, the crime of starvation, rape crimes, and sexual assaults at various levels, in addition to the unlimited tools of abuse, including continuous restriction operations, and turning every detail in the structure of the camp and prison into a tool for torture, theft, and deprivation.
The institutions also confirm that the level of shocking and horrific testimonies and data that the institutions are following, even after more than 400 days have passed since the war of extermination, leads us daily to another aspect of the extermination, which is the ongoing crimes against prisoners and detainees in the prisons and camps of the Israeli occupation.
The institutions indicated that the time factor constitutes the most important decisive day for the fate of thousands of prisoners in the occupation’s prisons and camps. Thousands of sick and wounded prisoners and detainees, who endured the prison system’s procedures and crimes at the beginning of the war, no longer have the ability to do so today. Their health conditions are also clearly deteriorating, and many healthy prisoners have turned into patients due to the continued spread of epidemics and diseases and the crime of starvation. This is what we see daily, whether through visits or through the courts.
The institutions pointed out that the continuation of the catastrophic conditions faced by prisoners, especially the sick and wounded, will certainly lead to the martyrdom of more prisoners in the occupation's prisons and camps, as the relevant institutions no longer have the ability to limit the number of patients in prisons as a result of the spread of diseases among them, and the arrest of more wounded. It is worth noting that the number of martyred prisoners and detainees is the highest historically compared to the stages in which Palestine witnessed historical popular uprisings and uprisings.
The institutions also pointed out an important issue, which is the occupation army’s deliberate manipulation of responses to correspondence from the relevant institutions. This has been repeated in many cases, as the occupation army in some cases deliberately responds by saying that there is no information about the detainee or that he is not present, only to find out later in another response that he is a detainee or that he was martyred. The most recent of these cases was the case of the two martyrs Al-Faqawi, where the army’s first response was that they were not present, and after legal efforts it was found that they were martyred.
The institutions held the occupation fully responsible for their martyrdom, adding these crimes to the record of historical crimes committed by the occupation over many decades, which reached their peak with the continuation of the war of extermination against our people in Gaza, which constitutes the bloodiest stage in the history of our long conflict with the occupation.
The institutions indicated that with the martyrdom of the detainees Idris and Rayan, the number of martyr prisoners whose identities are known since 1967 has risen to (284), in addition to dozens of martyr prisoners whose identities and circumstances of their death are still being concealed by the occupation, and other detainees who were executed. Of the total number of dead of the prisoner movement, the number of dead prisoners after October 7 has risen to (47), whose identities have been announced by the relevant institutions.
