The Commission of Prisoners' Affairs and Ex-Prisoners revealed deliberate medical neglect and tragic conditions endured by prisoners in Ofer and Ramle prisons.

The Commission pointed out in its report issued today, Tuesday, after a visit from its lawyer, a number of medical cases of prisoners held in Ofer prison, including the case of prisoner Muhammad Rayyan (24 years old) from the town of Beit Duqu in Jerusalem, who complains of severe bone pain. He was involved in an accident three months before his arrest that led to the loss of his entire right hand and the loss of the fingers of his left hand. He needs special care, painkillers and antibiotics, and needs to be warmed because his hand is exposed and completely missing. He also suffers from severe weight loss due to the scarcity of food in terms of quantity and quality. However, the prison administration deliberately neglects him and does not provide him with any treatment or medication.

While prisoner Abdul Hafeez Ghazzawi (25 years old) from Qadura camp in Ramallah, suffers from the skin disease (scabies), and he cannot sleep at night due to the severity of the holes, itching, and the severity of the pimples that appear on his body, and the prison administration does not provide him with any treatment.

In this context, prisoner Fares Farouk Marra, 27 years old, from the town of Beit Duqqu, who has been detained since August 4, 2022, was subjected to brutal beatings and torture inside Section 25, Room 22, last month. He told the lawyer during the visit that “armed forces threw tear gas bombs inside the section before entering, and they handcuffed them all to the floor in reverse, beat them, and made them naked, in addition to insulting them.”

The prison administration interrogated the prisoner once personally, as he was the oldest prisoner in the section, and beat him with "pins" despite knowing that he had platinum in his foot.

The prisoner pointed out that scabies is widespread in the section, with no treatment available despite the presence of severe cases. Meanwhile, the prison administration continues to prevent the provision of mattresses, toothpaste, or cleaning materials. The prisoner has not seen himself in the mirror for a year and a half, has lost a lot of weight, and is constantly exhausted.

When asked about the conditions of the prisoners inside the room after the raid, the prisoner once said: "There is a prisoner from the village of Silwad named Muhammad Lutfi who suffered fractures in his chest, to the point that he has not been able to move until now. He has not received any treatment or medical examination and is in poor condition."

As for prisoner Ahmed Siraj (32 years old) from Silwad, who was arrested on 6/7/2024, he is cut off from the world and is forbidden from visits. This is his first visit since his arrest.

He said he was subjected to beatings, oppression, and insults early last month. He is breathing with difficulty and suspects his chest is broken as a result of the beatings. He also suffers from a heart condition and needs proper medical care due to his critical condition. He noted that the prison administration punishes them if they hear their voices.

In another statement, the Commission of Prisoners' Affairs and Ex-Prisoners said that prisoners in the Ramleh prison clinic are suffering from difficult detention and health conditions.

The Authority's lawyers reported that prisoner Ibrahim Ayoub Shalhoub (28 years old) from Tulkarm suffers from severe pain and difficulty speaking, as a result of being shot 14 times in different parts of his body during his arrest on 12/27/2024, while the prison administration deliberately practices the worst methods of psychological torture against him and constantly threatens him with death.

Meanwhile, prisoner Mohammed Fayoumi (32 years old) from Qalqilya, complains of a perforated bladder, as a result of being shot in his right hand and pelvis, which prevented him from being able to walk at the beginning of his arrest. However, his health condition has recently begun to improve, and he has gradually returned to walking.

Note that Fayoumi was arrested on 11/21/2024, and was sentenced to 6 months of administrative detention, which was renewed once.

As for the prisoner Nasser Musa Abd Rabbo (58 years old) from the town of Sur Baher in Jerusalem, a number of soldiers fired rubber bullets at him from a distance of less than two meters on 04/03/2025, while he was in the Negev prison, after he refused the deportation order issued against him. He was injured in the instep of his foot, and then one of the prison guards deliberately stepped on his foot with all his strength, to inflict the greatest possible amount of damage to him, which led to the wound deepening and the occurrence of infections at the site of the injury. He was subsequently transferred to the Ramla prison clinic, and he is now in good health.

It is worth noting that Abd Rabbuh is a former prisoner who was arrested on 02/09/1988 and released in a prisoner exchange deal. He was then re-arrested on 06/18/2014 and is expected to be released on 10/08/2025.
