The series of systematic Israeli torture against thousands of Palestinian prisoners, especially the sick, continues
The Israeli occupation continues its series of systematic torture against thousands of prisoners and detainees in its prisons in an unprecedented manner since the start of the war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, in light of the silence of the international community, which remains powerless in the face of these ongoing violations.
Medical crimes and denial of treatment constituted the most prominent tool for carrying out systematic executions against dozens of prisoners since the beginning of the war, as all crimes were used in order to kill more prisoners, most notably the imposition of Harsh and tragic detention conditions, torturing them, carrying out systematic attacks, and deliberately infecting prisoners with diseases by depriving them of treatment and health care, starving them, and turning their need for treatment into a tool for torture.
The Commission for Prisoners’ and Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club said in a joint statement that they obtained: The Middle East News Agency has a copy of it today – The martyr and former prisoner Ismail Taqatqa (40 years old) from Bethlehem was subjected to a systematic medical crime in prisons. The Israeli occupation led to his martyrdom this morning in Jordan, five months after his release. After his release on August 29, it was discovered that he was suffering from leukemia.
According to the statement, the martyr Taqatqa is a new victim of crimes. The systematic medical practice practiced by the brutal prison system…pointing out that the case of the martyr Taqatqa today imposes a major and renewed question on an instantaneous basis about the fate of thousands of prisoners in prisons. The occupation, specifically the sick prisoners whose numbers the institutions can no longer count.
The statement pointed out that the tragic conditions of detention turned all prisoners into sick prisoners at levels…revealing that the majority of the prisoners and detainees whom the occupation released after the war, and even Today, they suffer from health problems, which required that many of them be transferred to hospitals immediately after their release.
He pointed out that the occupation is not limited to its crimes against the prisoners inside Prisons, but continues with other tools, including depriving the Palestinian citizen of treatment in hospitals in the occupied territories in 1948 (for security reasons), as happened with the martyr Ismail Taqatqa after it became clear that he needed a marrow transplant, as the occupation refused to transfer him to the occupied territories in 1948 to complete his treatment. Later, he worked to obstruct his transfer to Jordan in order to complete his treatment, and the procrastination contributed to the worsening of his health condition until he was martyred in the morning. Today.
In this context, the Authority and the Club warned that the passage of a longer period of time for the prisoners and detainees inside the occupation prisons, with the continuation of the ongoing retaliatory measures after the war, will lead to a worsening of the health conditions of the prisoners, and cause diseases even to the detainees. And healthy prisoners, especially since many prisoners who did not suffer from health problems previously suffer today from clear health problems, especially with the spread of epidemics among their ranks, the most prominent of which is disease. (Scabies – Scabies), which constituted a clear example of medical crimes and the deliberate spread of epidemics among the ranks of prisoners, with the aim of killing them and causing them diseases and chronic health problems that cannot be treated later.
The Commission and the Club held the occupation prison administration fully responsible for The martyrdom of former prisoner Taqatqa, and the fate of thousands of prisoners who face systematic measures aimed at killing them.
Prisoners’ institutions renewed their calls to the families of the released prisoners. On their behalf, immediately after their children’s release, they should transfer them to the nearest hospital and conduct the necessary examinations for them, and take an initial medical report on their health condition and keep the report for its importance, in light of the serious health data that the institutions follow regarding the health conditions of prisoners and those released.
It was renewed.
It was renewed. The Commission and the Club repeatedly call on the international human rights system to restore its role and stop the terrifying state of helplessness in the face of the continuation of the war of extermination and one of its aspects is the crimes carried out against prisoners. In the occupation prisons and camps, which constitutes another aspect of the ongoing genocide.
