Prisoners' Institutions: Israel is carrying out dangerous crimes against detainees in decades

Prisoners' institutions said on Saturday that the data received about the level of systematic crimes carried out by the Israeli occupation prison administration against detainees, after October 7 until today, is horrific, and reflects what was confirmed after the martyrdom of detainees Omar Daraghmeh and Arafat Hamdan.


The institutions added in a statement today, Saturday, that there is a systematic decision to assassinate detainees through systematic torture measures, in light of the comprehensive aggression against our people and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.


The institutions reviewed the most prominent measures that the prison administration continues to impose, including cutting off electricity to the detainees’ cells (their rooms), deliberately cutting off water for long periods of time, and practicing a policy of starvation, after withdrawing all food supplies from their sections, reducing meals to two meals, in addition to closing “ "Cantina", noting that meals are morsels, consisting of food that is not cooked well, inedible, and in small quantity, to the point of banning salt, sugar, and other basic needs.


The institutions explained that the heavily armed repressive forces intensified raids on all sections of detainees, accompanied by systematic abuse and severe beatings, using police dogs, stun grenades, gas, and batons, and escalated the policies of denying them treatment and transferring them to clinics or civilian hospitals for those suffering from chronic diseases.


The institutions stated that the occupation prison administration deliberately left detainees who were injured as a result of the assault on them, without treatment. It also began interrogating a number of them as a form of investigation, asking questions related to the current situation, and reduced the space available to the detainee inside the cell, after a decision by the occupation government, where the number of Detainees in one cell (room), up to more than 10.


The institutions said that the occupation administration transferred many detainees to solitary confinement cells, and has been isolating detainee Marah Bakir for more than 20 days, imposed double isolation on the detainees, and completely isolated their sections from each other.


The institutions pointed out that in the first days of the aggression, the prison administration withdrew the available television stations and electrical appliances, destroyed all the detainees’ possessions, seized their clothes, and kept one spare change for each of them, and also seized the radios, blankets, shoes, and books.


It also carried out mass transfers inside detention centers, including transferring detainees from one section to another, or one prison to another. This was accompanied by assaults and beatings on them, increased jamming devices, stopped visits by the families of detainees and their lawyers, deprived them of “freedom”, and closed the laundry, one of the most important facilities. , which they use to wash their clothes, and detainees were prevented from taking waste out of the rooms.


The institutions continued that after many attempts by institutions to submit requests for lawyers to visit detainees over the past period, the administration worked with all available tools to obstruct them, even after informing the lawyer of its approval, stressing that the visits that take place to date are very limited, and under difficult circumstances, after... The occupation deliberately assaulted and abused detainees who went out to visit a lawyer or to court, in addition to the fact that many of them suffered injuries as a result of severe beatings.
