GAZA – The Palestinian Prisoners and
Ex-Prisoners Affairs Authority stated on Sunday that the rate of attacks on
prisoners inside Israeli occupation prisons has been escalating since the
beginning of the
aggression on the Gaza Strip on October 7.

According to Al-Mamlaka TV, the authority said
that the
Israeli prison administration prohibits visits by family members and
lawyers, completely isolating the prisons from the outside world. They added
that during the same period, 6 prisoners were killed as a result of severe
torture.
Prison sections have been subjected to almost
daily raids, during which Israeli forces brutally assault prisoners with
batons, rifles, gas, and rubber bullets, causing them bruises, deep wounds, as
well as fractures in the hands and legs.
It was mentioned that during the arrest and
interrogation operations,
Israeli forces deliberately break the homes of
detainees, and then violently beat them from the moment of arrest to the end of
imprisonment.
According to authority, if any prisoner
requests a doctor, the immediate response from the occupation is, "anyone who
requests to leave the section for treatment will be beaten and will die, as
happened with the martyrs of the prisoners' movement who were martyred during
the war inside the prisons."
They highlighted a series of punitive and
racist measures imposed on prisoners, including the absence of proper shutters
on windows, exposing them to severe cold and very light blankets. The prisoners
attempted to close the windows with cardboard, but each time they tried, the
room was raided, and they were punished and assaulted.
They added that the food was very poor, cold,
and had a foul odor and the quantity provided for 12 prisoners is only enough
for four. Moreover, many prisoners sleep on the floor due to a lack of
sufficient beds, and the numbers of detainees in the sections are at least
three times the normal capacity.
The authority emphasized that this fierce
attack on prisoners coincides with the absence of the role of human rights
institutions in providing the minimum protection and monitoring of their
conditions and rights, which are clearly violated daily, subjecting them to a
policy of slow death.
