Gaza - Saba:
The Palestine Center for Prisoners' Studies confirmed that the Zionist enemy authorities continue their crimes against prisoners in prisons, which have multiplied during the war of extermination on the Gaza Strip, reaching the point of murder.
The enemy has assassinated (12) prisoners since the beginning of this year.
The Palestine Center explained that the number of martyrs from the prisoner movement has risen this year to (303) martyrs, with (12) martyrs killed inside enemy prisons. Of these, (11) were killed as a result of the deliberate medical neglect of sick prisoners and the internationally prohibited cruel torture practiced by the enemy against prisoners, especially prisoners from the Gaza Strip. One minor prisoner was killed as a result of the starvation policy.
It pointed out that five of the martyrs were detainees from the Gaza Strip, arrested by Israeli forces during the ground invasion of the Strip after raiding their homes, displacement sites, schools, and hospitals. All of them were civilians with no affiliation with resistance factions, and died as a result of torture in Israeli slaughterhouses and deliberate medical neglect. They were: Muhammad al-Asali, Ibrahim Adnan Ashour, Ali al-Batsh, Musab Abu Haniya, and Raafat Abu Fanouneh, all of whom died as a result of torture.
The Center added that seven martyrs from the occupied West Bank died as a result of medical negligence, due to the starvation policy, which led to a decrease in the efficiency of the body's systems and the accumulation of weakness and disease, cumulatively leading to death.
The Palestine Center for Prisoners' Studies warned of the continued killing of Palestinian prisoners inside Israeli prisons, as a result of the occupation's continued repressive and aggressive policies against prisoners, and the insistence of the extremist occupation government to continue its crimes against them and provide protection to the perpetrators of these crimes.
The Center confirmed that since October 7, 2023, the occupation has been seriously engaged in killing Palestinian prisoners inside its prisons using various methods, most notably torture, medical neglect, starvation, and beatings. During this period, (66) martyrs whose identities are known have been killed.
The Palestine Center noted that the policy of killing prisoners has escalated as a result of widespread support from extremist ministers in the occupation government, who have given the green light to Shin Bet interrogators to practice all forms of internationally prohibited torture against prisoners.
It noted that the martyrs from the prisoner movement are known, while dozens of unidentified martyrs were executed, either by shooting or through torture, medical neglect, or starvation.
The Palestine Center called on the international community and human rights organizations to intervene immediately and form investigative committees to document the crimes of killing and torture against prisoners.
