Prisoners Club: Israeli occupation has used every tool to torture and humiliate prisoners
The Palestinian Prisoners Club said that the occupation forces have used every tool to torture and humiliate prisoners, the latest of which is forcing prisoners to wear jackets with threatening phrases written on them and bracelets with threatening phrases.
The club explained in a statement on Saturday evening that within the framework of the organized terrorism practiced by the occupation against the released prisoners and their families, the occupation system did not leave any tool of humiliation, abuse and torture without using it against the prisoners and their families, as the prison system forced the prisoners before their release today to wear jackets on which threatening phrases were written, and it had previously forced them to wear bracelets with phrases on them that also fall within the framework of threats.
He stressed that the Israeli prison system continues to torture prisoners, and that all occupation agencies continue to threaten prisoners and their families. This is an extension of a policy that has been used for many years, but it has clearly escalated during the recent liberation operations.
He pointed out that the occupation did not stop at its crimes against the prisoners, but also practiced organized terrorism against their families, through threats that reached the level of arrest and killing, and storming homes and carrying out acts of sabotage and destruction inside them.
He pointed out that the majority of the prisoners who were released in the deal, as well as the majority of those released after the war of extermination, suffer from health problems, and many of them were transferred to hospitals, as a number of them were transferred to the hospital today, due to the crimes they are exposed to, most notably the crimes of torture and medical crimes, and the crime of starvation, in addition to the systematic abuse and humiliation, including severe beatings carried out by the repression units, which aim to kill the prisoners, or cause them injuries and health problems that are difficult to treat later, and as many prisoners reported, the prison system deliberately uses severe beatings before releasing them.
The Prisoners Club said: Today, after 36 prisoners were released from life sentences, and 333 prisoners from Gaza who were arrested after October 7, as part of the sixth batch of the first phase, the prisoners’ bodies specifically reflected their health conditions, and the need for some of them to be transferred to the hospital, the level of atrocities that the prisoners were exposed to over the past period in the occupation’s prisons.
He pointed out that among the prisoners who were released today are sick prisoners who suffered years of medical crimes, most notably prisoner Mansour Muqaddah and prisoner Iyad Haribat.
The Prisoners Club warned that there are still more than ten thousand prisoners in the occupation prisons, and this number does not include all the detainees in Gaza, as hundreds of them face the crime of enforced disappearance, stressing that the time factor is the main factor affecting the fate of prisoners in prisons, as the more time passes in their continued detention, the more the level of risks to their fate increases.
The Prisoners Club stressed that the goal of all these crimes and threats is not only an attempt to kill and rob the joy of freedom, but also to undermine the status of the Palestinian prisoner in the Palestinian collective consciousness.
